Comment on this resource
PhEt is a free website of over sixty interactive simulations that provides opportunities for students to learn physics and chemistry through exploration and virtual labs. A browsable teacher-contributed collection of homework assignments, lectures, activities, and concept questions is available. Additional contributions designed to be used in conjunction with the PhET simulations may be submitted. Simulations can be run in three different ways: on line, by downloading one or more simulations at a time, or by a download of the entire website to your computer. Many simulations have been translated into different languages.
