+PhET is a collection of simulations that can be integrated in classroom teaching-learning.  You will look at two examples of simulations.
-PhET provides fun, free, interactive, research-based science and mathematics simulations. We extensively test and evaluate each simulation to ensure educational effectiveness. These tests include student interviews and observation of simulation use in classrooms. The simulations are written in Java, Flash or HTML5, and can be run online or downloaded to your computer. All simulations are open source (see our source code). Multiple sponsors support the PhET project, enabling these resources to be free to all students and teachers.

+By using sims as an animated illustration, instructors find that it is easier to communicate effectively with their students. The sims
 show dynamic processes and these can be slowed down, sped up, or paused,depending on the concept being shown; the invisible is made visible; and multiple representations are linked.Finally,the sims are easily adjusted by the instructor during the discussion. These features often make sims more effective for learning and more practical to use than static drawings or live demos.
