Meet PhET

PhET provides interactive simulations for science and mathematics. Learners change a variable, move an object, or adjust a model and watch the result. Simulations cover subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science, making otherwise difficult-to-see processes available for direct exploration on a screen.

Teachers can pair a simulation with lesson activities, teaching tips, video primers, and materials shared by other educators. Translations and accessible simulations offer different ways to use the material, with capabilities varying between activities. A class can use a model for a demonstration or guided investigation, while individual learners can repeat the experiment with different settings to compare the results.
