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.

You can find PhET under Applications> Education> Science. PhET is an educational resource that contains computer demonstrations of experiments and activities. When you click on Play with sims – it will open simulations in various subjects. You just click on Physics and scroll down to the simulation on Pendulum Lab.
When you want to open a simulation, click on the green rectangle which says “Run Now”.<br>
If you are not find Phet under Applications> Education> Science, Then you need to configure Phet application to your system. follow this steps to configure.

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.
