Summary/Abstract: The multimedia educational resources have an important impact on the teaching-learning process of Physics. The multimedia resources stimulate audio-visual memory and transpose the students in the middle of the Phenomena and complement their knowledge. The paper presents modern tools used in teaching/ learning physics in class and in the laboratory - supplementing traditional teaching process with simulations/computer modelling, experimental data processing and graphics obtained through specialized software. I present in my paper the achievement of a physics experiment on laboratory that will be filled with computer simulation. Software modelling experiments in real time, such as Yenka contribute to a better understanding of physics phenomena. The impact of dynamic pictures, the images corroborated with sound and motion, the possibility to recreate the physical reality with computer technique make it the most important teaching aid.
