SIM 1. PhET Photoelectric Effect Investigate the effect of changes in material, wavelength, and intensity. Design a plan to gather data to generate a graph to determine Planke's constant and the work function of the material.

SIM 2. PhET My Solar System Investigate the motion of satellites using guided inquiry with supplied handout.

SIM 3. PhET Balloons Investigate charging balloons and sticky tape using guided inquiry with the supplied handout.

SIM 4. PhET Wave on a String: Design a data collection strategy to be able to sketch: Displacement-Time and Displacement-Distance graphs

SIM 5. PhET Circuit Construction Kit Design a challenge for the students that involves brightness and calculations of a complex circuit.

ALTERNATIVE: Design your own and share with the group.
