Using Excel spreadsheets, we developed a simple simulation software that simulate the vibration of a string and designed to be used in the physics teaching process. Using a special devised animation, the tool will help students to understand and, especially, to visualize the solutions of the equation of the oscillating string. We devised two spreadsheets, one for the plucked and one for the strucked string. We used this tool to analyze the vibration modes of the string and to investigate the way that it may be used in increasing the effectiveness of teaching.
