Interactive Simulations for Science and Math
WEBEXPLORE ACCESSIBLE SIMS. Free science and math simulations for teaching STEM topics, including physics, chemistry, biology, and math, from University of Colorado Boulder.
Circuit Construction Kit: DC - PhET Interactive Simulations
WEBBuild circuits with batteries, resistors, ideal and non-Ohmic light bulbs, fuses, and switches. Determine if everyday objects are conductors or insulators, and take measurements with an ammeter and voltmeter. View the circuit as a schematic diagram, or switch to a lifelike view.
Natural Selection - Mutation - PhET Interactive Simulations
WEBExplore how organisms with different traits survive various selection agents within the environment.
States of Matter - PhET Interactive Simulations
WEBExplore the interactive simulation of matter states and learn about phase changes, temperature effects, and atomic interactions.

Interactive Simulations for Science and Math
WEB3433 teacher-submitted lessons. Founded in 2002 by Nobel Laureate Carl Wieman, the PhET Interactive Simulations project at the University of Colorado Boulder creates free interactive math and science simulations.
Density - Mass | Volume - PhET Interactive Simulations
WEBWhy do some materials like wood float in water, and others don’t? Interact with blocks of different materials, including a custom option by modifying their mass and volume, to explore the effect on the density and discover the conditions for sinking or floating in water.
Research - PhET Interactive Simulations
WEBThe PhET simulation design principles are based on research on how students learn (Bransford et al., 2000) and from our simulation interviews (see PhET Design Process). Between four and six think-aloud style interviews with individual students are done with each simulation.
What is PhET? A short introduction to the PhET simulations
WEBPhET provides fun, free, interactive, research-based science and mathematics simulations. We extensively test and evaluate each simulation to ensure educational effectiveness. These tests include student interviews and observation of simulation use in classrooms.
