In this paper we present an application for teaching Physics courses in secondary education. It is a web application, based on HTML5 and on JavaScript. We rely on the graphical capabilities of this technology, including rendering on 2D canvas context and SVG rendering, and we develop a framework for simulating physics behavior. We review other applications with similar features, explaining the motivations of the current development. The system architecture and the software design are discussed and the simulation techniques are explained. We finish with a discussion on some possible examples of use for the application and on the future development plans.
