GeoGebra is a versatile and accessible tool for physics teachers. It facilitates creation ofeverything from precise figures to interactive 3D visualizations. GeoGebra is an interactivetool that graphs functions, plots data and does statistical analysis of it, does calculus andvector math, illustrates geometry, functions in 2D, 3D or both and more. Example physicsapplications include re-usable/variable inclined plane and pulley diagrams, ray diagrams,forces on a rotating coil in a magnetic field, sound demonstrations, randomized practiceproblems with solutions. GeoGebra and visualizations created with it are free and run oncomputers and tablets and as a web application.

Premises

Good diagrams are instrumental in physics.Drawing takes time.Modifying the scenario shouldn’t require redrawing fromscratch. Interactive would be even better.
