I always view my labs
as a way for students to investigate and explore natural phenomena,
My main concern with this is that the
simulation will “give away the answers” as it were.
if nothing else, my students will leave the laboratory knowing how to
read a ruler. And as a consumer of the education of my fellow
citzenry, I'd rather they learn that than some more physics
concepts.
My main point is that in my opinion the lab is about a more than
merely being a vehicle for aiding the understanding of underlying
physics and/or concepts. Naturally I hope the lab is doing that as
well.
