The Java and Flash simulations will run on most PC, Mac, and Linux systems.

Adobe has announced the end-of-life of Flash and beginning January 1, 2021, you will no longer be able to run PhET’s Flash sims on modern web browsers.

To continue to run our Flash sims outside of a web browser, some users have found a way to open English Flash simulation .swf files natively using Adobe Projector, but sims run in this manner are not supported by PhET.
Download a .zip file with all English Flash .swf files.

PhET relies on donations from users like you to fund our conversions to HTML5. If you haven't already, please consider donating to our project so that we are able to continue converting your favorite sims.

HTML5 Prototypes are published prior to final sim publication to allow students and teachers to access the HTML5 version of a simulation as soon as possible. Prototype sims are not feature complete or fully tested, so you may find bugs or other issues. OneNote does not support embedding these prototypes.

Prototypes are published using the same URL address as the final published sim so that linked used in activities and provided to students don't need to be edited when the final version of the sim is published.
