PhET Interactive Simulations
To help students engage in science and mathematics through inquiry, PhET simulations were developed to allow students to investigate cause-and-effect relationships and answer scientific questions through exploration of the simulation.
Several tools in the simulations provide an interactive experience:
*Click and drag to interact with simulation features
*Use sliders to increase and decrease parameters
*Choose between options with radio buttons
*Make measurements in your experiments with various instruments – rulers, stop-watches, voltmeters, and thermometers.

Acid Based Solutions
This simulation allows students to:
- Demonstrate an understanding of acid and base strength, given acids or bases at the same concentration, by:
- Relating the strength of an acid or base to the extent to which it dissociates in water
- Identifying all...
Area Builder
Area Builder gives students the opportunity to build any shape and explore the relationship between the area of a shape and the length of its perimeter. The “Game Screen” contains two kinds of challenges: Build a shape and Find the area. There are different levels of increasing difficulty. The teacher notes give...
Balancing Act
With this simulation students can move objects on a seesaw to learn about balance and test what they have learned by trying the Balance Challenge game.
Sample learning objectives include:
*Predict how objects of various masses can be used to make a plank balance.
*Predict how changing the...

Balancing Chemical Equations
With this simulation students can explore the conservation of mass and balance chemical equations. Sample learning objectives include: *Balance a chemical equation. *Recognize that the number of atoms of each element is conserved in a chemical reaction. Describe the difference between coefficients and subscripts in...
