AbstractThe paper reports an initiative to develop computer simulation programs for the Secondary 4/5 physics curriculum in Hong Kong. It first discusses the advantages of using computer simulations in the teaching and learning of science (and physics) and considers the exploratory, collaborative and student-centred learning environment that computer simulations support. Two of the programs developed are described to illustrate how they support such a learning environment.
