Physical Processes
Learn about many physical science concepts:
- Electricity circuits as you experiment with batteries, voltages and light bulbs (wire them in different ways for surprising outcomes).
- Electricity circuits as you experiment with conductors, which materials conduct electricity better than others.
- Forces in action as you experiment how gradients, weights and resistance affect the movement of various objects.
- Magnets & springs as you combine the two to complete various challenges. Find out what objects magnets are attracted to and more.
- Friction as you experiment how the movement of vehicles responds to different surfaces and levels of resistance.
PhET Interactive Simulations
PhET is a suite of research-based interactive computer simulations for teaching and learning physics, chemistry, math, and other sciences. PhET simulations can be run online or downloaded for free from the PhET website.
