Open Source Physics at Singapore OSP@SG simulations have 3  design principles:

1. User design: Simple & Optimum View of Screen
1. Interactively simulated, Drag and move objects to get position 
2. Drop-down menu to set variables, show drawings, initialize scenarios
3. full-screen capability on Android only, iOS is normal sized.
2. Teacher design: Gradual buildup of concepts
1. concepts are build up from simple to complex, example position vs time to energy versus time later in subsequent simulation
3. Pedagogical design: progressive mathematical modeling 
1. input mathematical formula for trend fitting and student to make effort to 'model' motion, functions etc.
