Weekly Web Review

I have visited the PhET Interactive Simulations on the University of Colorado at Boulder website. Watch different types of molecules form a solid, liquid, or gas. Add or remove heat and watch the phase change. Change the temperature or volume of a container and see a pressure-temperature diagram respond in real time. Relate the interaction potential to the forces between molecules. This is a great simulation for use by teachers and students. On the main page is a list of sample learning goals and topics that this simulator could be used with while teaching different lessons. There is also a list of lesson ideas and links to lesson plans below, they range from elementary level to high school.
