06 / TOOLS

Interactive learning tools

Tools built with teachers during the AI-in-teaching training (Guangxi and Xi’an), in five groups by how they are used. All live; the two that need a language model are static replays only.

“Camera” tools ask the browser for the camera and process video locally. “Replay” pages connect to no model; they replay one real session.

A / GESTURE LABS

Gesture labs

Turn on the camera and drive optics, geometry and magnetic fields with your hands. Runs in the browser; video never leaves the device.

03
Optics in handOpen Drag the light source and lens with your fingers and watch refraction and imaging. Primary level. LABcamera Geometry in handOpen Pinch and rotate to cut and unfold solids. Secondary level. LABcamera Magnet in handOpen Your palm becomes a magnet; move it and watch the field lines and compass needles respond. LABcamera
B / 3D INQUIRY

3D inquiry

Make decisions inside a 3D scene and watch the consequences, so ecology and systems thinking become something you can retry.

01
Eco-islandOpen Run a small island: introduce species, adjust resources, and see the food web tip over or recover. 3DWebGL
C / SCIENCE SIMS

Science simulations

Single-file primary-science simulations with no backend. Open and use, or download and adapt.

07
Seasons cycleOpen Drag Earth around the Sun and watch the subsolar point and day length shift with the seasons. SIM Life of a plantOpen Growth stages from seed to fruit; adjust light and water to compare outcomes. SIM Submarine buoyancyOpen Flood and blow the ballast tanks to feel buoyancy balancing against weight. SIM Moon phasesOpen Move the Moon along its orbit and compare with the phase seen from Earth. SIM Eye opticsOpen Change lens thickness and object distance to see where the image lands relative to the retina. SIM Class weather boardOpen Log daily temperature, wind and cloud cover; the board charts the week automatically. SIM Cart on a rampOpen Change slope and friction and see how far the cart travels. SIM
D / LEARNING KITS

Learning kits

Four small tools generated live with teachers during training, showing that a described need can become a working page.

04
School weather stationOpen Pulls public weather data into a school dashboard. KITonline Mechanics sandboxOpen Place objects, apply forces, watch trajectories. Works offline. KIToffline Mistake scannerOpen Photograph a wrong answer and file it into a browsable notebook. KITcamera Classifier workshopOpen Collect samples with the camera and train a small classifier in the browser. KITonlinecamera
E / CLASSROOM & DIALOGUE

Classroom & dialogue

Three entries from the Teaching Observatory. Two of them need a language-model backend, so the public site carries static replays only.

03
Seasons inquiryOpen The seasons simulation inside the observatory, with classroom observation logs and learning paths. OBS Culture exchangeReplay Introduce the reading corner to a visiting student. A static three-round replay; the live rehearsal mode is also open. REPLAYstatic replay Teach the AIReplay Explain a problem to an AI classmate who does not get it. Static replay of one full session; the live version runs on the instructor’s machine. REPLAYstatic replay
