Physion is a 2D Physics simulation software that can be used to easily create a wide range of interactive physics simulations and educational experiments. Teachers may find Physion particularly useful since it can be used as a virtual physics laboratory through which they can demonstrate some basic physics concepts in the classroom. The publisher has added translations for five languages as well as fixed a couple of bugs to enhance the performance of the program.

With Physion, you can create various physical objects (circles, polygons, gears, etc.) and joints (eg. springs, pulleys etc.) that obey the laws of Physics. You can experiment by creating various scenes/scenarios which can either simple physics experiments or complex structures/mechanisms. You can also execute your own scripts/programs in JavaScript. This way Physion can be a nice and friendly tool for introduction to programming since the results of the commands are immediately visualized.

Physion is a freeware application and has been translated into the following languages; English, Japanese, German, Indonesian, as well as Spanish. The program runs on Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, as well as Linux x86 and x86 64 operating systems. You are going to find this program very interesting and easy to use; and the fact that it is a freeware makes it worth checking out.
