Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
Founded in 2002 by Nobel Laureate Carl Wieman, the PhET Interactive Simulations project at the University of Colorado Boulder creates free interactive math and science simulations. PhET sims are based on extensive education research and engage students through an intuitive, game-like environment where students learn through exploration and discovery. Please add this to your library using the heart and then consider using the three dots to edit the instructions so that they more precisely meet your desired learning outcomes.
