Interactive Simulations

Physics Education Technology (Phet), is free and open source software. It is entirely web-based and is a tool for science related simulations.

The Phet website has a number of simulations that demonstrate common physics, biology, chemistry, math and earth science, concepts. Each simulation has interactive controls which allows the user to alter parameters and witness how the changes affect the simulation.

This is a great tool for classroom use to illustrate key science concepts in a visual and interactive medium.
