Use of animation in teaching natural sciences in general secondary school

Modern trends in the development of secondary and higher education require rather stringent requirements not only to the traditional forms of knowledge of students, but also the skills and skills of using computer technology to solve various problems. To date, the subject "Informatics" is not enough as a separate discipline of the school course . It is necessary to introduce computer technologies directly in the disciplines of both natural sciences and humanitarian cycles. In connection with the introduction of specialized education in high school, the issue of the use of computer mathematics systems is not open, since disciplines of the natural cycle, primarily mathematics and physics, are the most fertile ground for the implementation of a comprehensive approach - standard teaching methods plus use mathematical packages. A large number of school (and university) tasks that require routine calculations can be effective, and most importantly - correctly, solved by means of systems of computer mathematics. In this regard, there is an additional time reserve, opens the opportunity to use new methods of learning and studying mathematics, physics and other disciplines. However, it should be borne in mind that learning technology is not always the same development of the student's worldview, his theoretical knowledge. Hence the question arises - when and where in the process of studying, in particular, natural sciences, it is wise to use technologies such as Mathcad, Maple, Derive. The experience of teaching natural sciences, in particular, shows that one of the main problems is the lack of development of the imagination of students and students. Therefore, modern educational technologies, packages of computer programs for the visualization of educational material occupy a significant place in the teaching of fundamental and technical disciplines. To enhance the imagination and improve material perception, a program has been developed in the Mathcad package with further animation of the motion of the elastic pendulum. The applied interactive elements that allow you to change the parameters of the system and, thus, the nature of the movement, serve as an additional catalyst for the work of the imagination. Mechanical systems are the most widespread technical systems, they are more widely distributed than others - electric, optical, etc. Mechanical systems are widely used in various production and transport vehicles. The links of the mechanisms carry complex movements, in particular repetitive, periodic. Study, research and computer simulation of periodic movements of the mechanisms of the mechanism does not lose relevance. In the work, a program has been developed in the Mathcad package to study the phenomena of mechanical oscillations, which are considered in the course of physics at school, as well as in university courses. An animation solution was used to solve the differential equation of motion of an elastic pendulum.
