Description in English: This book compiles the experiences gained from four research projects developed by the Physical Systems Simulation branch of the Physics Research Group 'Theory of Condensed Matter,' in collaboration with the Educational Computing Group (Ginfed) at the University of Magdalena. These projects were implemented in secondary education institutions across the Magdalena department, specifically in the district of Santa Marta, as well as at the university within the programs of the Faculty of Engineering, Health Sciences, Education, and Basic Sciences. The primary objective is to provide students engaging in the study of physics with a virtual tool. This tool implements a methodology that allows students to construct their knowledge through hands-on learning, utilizing various virtual simulators. The methodology consists of twelve lessons organized in guides, each comprising several phases: motivation, problematizing question, problem situation, theoretical foundation, observation of the physical phenomenon, development of the simulation, data collection, statistical analysis, results, and conclusions. The tool featured in the book enables the simulation of physical phenomena in a web environment. This flexibility allows teachers to use it as a supplementary resource during theoretical classes or as a guide for laboratory sessions. The overarching goal of this work is to contribute to enhancing the quality of teaching-learning processes, particularly in secondary education institutions lacking access to physical laboratories.
