The study analyzes computer modeling tools intended for use in educational and scientific contexts. The concept of modeling as a method of research and a teaching tool is examined, the emphasis is placed on computer modeling. It is shown how physical laws, particularly Coulomb’s law, can be studied through modeling. The study uses pre-made simulators, spreadsheets, mathematical packages, as well as our own software in Object Pascal and Python. Experimental testing has confirmed the effectiveness of computer modeling in teaching natural sciences. A survey of students and teachers showed interest in further use of simulation tools in the educational process.
