Chemistry Teachers – Getting ready for the new year?

There are many new PhET chemistry sims this year. See how Trish Loeblein, PhET K-12 Specialist and Evergreen High School physics & chemistry teacher, uses PhET sims as demos, in-class labs, homeworks, and concept questions in this activity.

(The activities are appropriate for many levels and can easily be adapted for your particular needs.)

We’re going to be at the American Chemical Society National Exposition in Denver, CO August 29-31st. Come by our Booth #2038.

Are there ideas that you’d like to see in podcasts? Let us know.

As part of our effort to develop sims specifically for our middle-school audience, we are adapting many of our existing sims by refining the content and controls to better align with the middle-school learning goals. We’ll release the sims (and announce them here) as we complete each one. The first that will be released in the coming months will be States of Matter: Basics. Let us know which other ones you’d like to see.
