PhET Interactive Simulations Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• methods/physics study tips pls

  Use the simulations from here: https://phet.colorado.edu/ to make correlations of Physics with real life concepts. After you run through each simulation, make notes on your ipad/laptop/or on a piece of paper with a diagram and everything and try to notice what happens when you change certain variables. i.e. How the cross sectional area of a coil may affect the resistivity of the wire.

  I'm a big simulation fan, so obviously Phet (http://phet.colorado.edu). Source: about 1 year ago

• Alright Teachers!! Let's help each other out with those awesome (free) resource websites that are truly good resources.

  I'd like to add these free math and science simulations that helped me a lot during virtual teaching over the past few years: https://phet.colorado.edu/. Source: about 1 year ago

• What are your favorite English, math, and science teaching websites?

  Https://phet.colorado.edu/ for simulations and lab activities that really helped me teach physics during the pandemic. Source: about 1 year ago

• High School Physics

  Openstax, CK-12, Utah OER, and Siyavula all have free high school physics textbooks you can check out. Also, PhET is a free website that has interactive simulations for physics. Source: over 1 year ago

• I made some new virtual labs/activities. Biology this time: DNA building, DNA replication, and Tissues/Cells/Nucleus slides.

  In terms of running offline - I don't see anything that would be restrictive there in the code - I work for Learning Equality, the nonprofit that makes the offline first learning platform Kolibri which already packages a wide range of educational HTML5 apps for redistribution offline (PhET being a prime example, although I realize they have single HTML files). We serve the HTML5 apps from a web server running in a... Source: over 1 year ago
