PhET Interactive Simulations
From the Wikipedia description: PhET Interactive Simulations, a project at the University of Colorado Boulder, is a non-profit open educational resource project that creates and hosts explorable explanations. It was founded in 2002 by Nobel Laureate Carl Wieman. PhET began with Wieman’s vision to improve the way science is taught and learned. Their stated mission is “To advance science and math literacy and education worldwide through free interactive simulations.”
The project acronym “PhET” originally stood for “Physics Education Technology,” but PhET soon expanded to other disciplines. The project now designs, develops, and releases over 125 free interactive simulations for educational use in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, earth science, and mathematics.
