PhET stands for Physics Education Technology . It provide free, interactive, research-based science and mathematics simulations. These simulations cover a wide range of STEM subjects including physics, chemistry, biology, earth science, and math.

WHAT MAKES PhET STANDS OUT?

It's designed to engage students through exploration and discovery in a game-like, interactive environment. PhET simulations are extensively tested for educational effectiveness and can be used online or downloaded for free. They help students visualize and experiment with scientific principles, making complex concepts accessible and enhancing understanding across all educational levels from kindergarten to graduate school.
