Physics is one of the harder parts of the school curriculum to show and teach things in 3 dimensions with the subject being more around the maths of why things happen.
“The study of Physics provides students with an understanding of energy, forces, and space. But it is fair to say that physics is one of the more difficult subjects studied in senior school. Many students find it difficult to define physics, let alone gain a real understanding of all the formulas and symbols.” – http://www.gaia3d.co.uk/3d-subjects/physics/
Applying a 3D model of how things works allows students of physics to better visualise how different forces affect us.
3D teaching can also help with teaching how to use equipment that physicists use, such as Robert Lucas and Ulrich Kolb have done with there 3D rendition of a telescope to show students how to operate it properly, allowing them to spend more time looking through the telescope and researching what they are there to do than spend time learning how to use the telescope itself. – http://www.open.ac.uk/opencetl/files/opencetl/file/ecms/web-content/Lucas-R-and-Kolb-U-2009-Use-of-3D-virtual-environments-in-teaching-Astronomy-and-Physics.pdf

American period. Dell (Edger. Dale), in his publishing of Audio Visual Methods In Teaching publishing, proposed the” Tower of experience “theory, which become the main theoretical basis of audio-visual education at that time. Dell believe that human learning obtain the knowledge through two main channels, one is obtained by direct experience, and the other is obtained through indirect experience. He put forward the theory of “Tower of experience” of human learning experience. Also, he classified them into three classes of ten according to different degrees of abstraction.”
