The latest PhET simulation is about the greenhouse effect. The simulation can be used to help students understand the effect of greenhouse […]
A Mean PhET Simulation
PhET is one of my go-to resources for math and science teachers. Just before the Thanksgiving break (for those of us in the United States) PhET released a new simulation designed to help students understand the concept of mean. Mean: Share and Balance is an interactive simulation in which students are shown a series of […]
PhET Virtual Workshops for Teachers
PhET is one of my top resource recommendations for math and science teachers. PhET offers more than one hundred online, interactive simulations for teaching concepts in mathematics, physics, chemistry, earth science, and biology. Those simulations can be used on PhET’s website and they can be embedded into your website for your students to use. If […]
PhET Releases Ten Updated Simulations With Interactive Descriptions
