Overview
PhET Interactive Simulations is a project at the University of Colorado Boulder that creates free interactive math and science simulations. These simulations are designed to be highly engaging and visually rich, fostering a deeper understanding of concepts through exploration and discovery. PhET simulations cover a wide range of topics, including physics, chemistry, biology, earth science, and mathematics. They are built using HTML5, making them accessible on various devices, including computers, tablets, and smartphones. The simulations are widely used by students, teachers, and lifelong learners around the world to visualize complex phenomena and build intuition through hands-on experimentation. PhET simulations are also backed by extensive research and are designed to promote effective learning.
