O nama

PhET nudi zаbаvne, interаktivne, zаsnovаne nа istrаživаnjimа, simulаcije fizičkih fenomenа, i to besplаtno. Mi vjerujemo dа su tа nаšа istrаživаnjа kаo i brojnа i studioznа testirаnjа nа učenicimа dovoljnа dа studenti shvаte veze između fenomenа iz reаlnog životа i fundаmentаlnih nаukа, dа produbljuju i poboljšаvаju rаzumijevаnje stvаrnosti.

More About PhET's Design

To help students engage in science and mathematics through inquiry, PhET simulations are developed using the following design principles:

• Encourage scientific inquiry
• Provide interactivity
• Make the invisible visible
• Show visual mental models
• Include multiple representations (e.g., object motion, graphs, numbers, etc.)
• Use real-world connections
• Give users implicit guidance (e.g., by limiting controls) in productive exploration
• Create a simulation that can be flexibly used in many educational situations

Several tools in the simulations provide an interactive experience:

• Click and drag to interact with simulation features
• Use sliders to increase and decrease parameters
• Choose between options with radio buttons
• Make measurements in your experiments with various instruments – rulers, stop-watches, voltmeters, and thermometers.

As users interact with these tools, they get immediate feedback about the effect of the changes they made. This allows them to investigate cause-and-effect relationships and answer scientific questions through exploration of the simulation. For more information, visit our research page.
