PhetInteractive Simulation

PhET Interactive Simulations are free online simulations that provide interactive models to help students visualize and understand concepts in science and math. Developed by the University of Colorado Boulder, PhET simulations cover a wide range of topics including physics, chemistry, biology, earth science, and mathematics. These simulations are designed to be user-friendly and align with educational standards, making complex concepts more accessible and engaging through interactive exploration.
PhET simulations allow users to manipulate variables, observe outcomes, and conduct virtual experiments in a risk-free environment. They support inquiry-based learning by encouraging students to explore and discover relationships between different factors, fostering a deeper understanding of scientific principles and mathematical concepts.
