"This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of computer simulations in learning of the concepts of three laws of motion. It also specifically measures the students' attitudes toward the Physics before and after being exposed in activities involving computer simulations. The respondents of this study were the Grade-8 students of Candaping National High National High School during the school year 2019-2020. The researcher used the quasi-experimental design employed validated questionnaires that identified the performance of students and measured their attitudes toward physics lessons. The statistical totol used in this study included mean, t-test for dependent data, z-test, weighted mean and Wilcoxon Test. The study revealed that there was an increase in the academic performance of the students after the utilization of the computer simulations activity. There was also a significant difference in the post-test performance of the control and experimental group of students in favor of the latter group. It was also revealed in the study that the attitudes of students toward physics lessons enhanced after being exposed to interactive simulation activities. Lastly, the attitude of the students was not significantly related to their post-test. --Abstract
