Using PhET Simulations for High School Chemistry: Free research-based resources on the web
PhET has developed 38 simulations (sims) in chemistry, free at phet.colorado.edu. PhET sims provide interactive environments for students to learn through scientist-like exploration, making the invisible visible and emphasizing connections between real life phenomena and the underlying science. Participants will discuss how to use PhET chemistry sims to enhance student learning and engagement, and will learn where to find hundreds of editable activities online to use with sims in all science disciplines.
