This one is for the most advanced students or teachers. I found it through the Wired article, Something’s Off With the Turbolaser Shots in The Last Jedi. The author used GlowScript to help get his point across by simulating the physics of the turbolaser shots.

Simulations created with GlowScript can be embedded on websites or you can share the url to the simulation on the site.
