PhET Sims for Science Inquiry: Free, researched, web-based Ariel Paul

1. Introducuction to PhET 2. Sim design and research 3. PhET’s future Outline

What Is PhET? Suite of 127 interactive science and math sims! PhET’s Mission: To advance science literacy and education worldwide PhET’s Mission: To advance science literacy and education worldwide

Where Is PhET? Or download! (  280 MB)

Who Are We? Faculty, Post-docs, K-12 Teachers, Software Developers

See science as accessible and enjoyable Make connections to everyday life Achieve conceptual learning Scientific exploration with multiple learning outcomes Ownership of the learning experience PhET Goals for Students

How Can PhET be Free? NSF Carl Wieman and Sarah Gilbert King Saud University The O’Donnell Foundation Hewlett Foundation University of Colorado

Open-use License: Creative Commons – Attribution Easy to translate for World-wide Use: Over 3000 translations in 63 languages Over 35 million runs per year, and growing Conversion to HTML5 Making PhET Accessible

Pick and choose which sims to use Your environment and your learning goals Database of activities (>500 by PhET or Teacher-users) Flexibility CCK in grade school: “Make the light bulb light” CCK in college: “Explain why the light dims when you turn the heater on”

Easy to Translate

Design Process Initial design Interviews Redesign Final design Research Classrooms

Compare These Tools? “Affordances” and “Constraints”?

Is the Sim Intuitive? What would you do next?

Designed to Support Inquiry Real-time feedback Highly interactive Accurate, dynamic visual representations Intuitive interface Allow difficult or impossible actions

Designed to Scaffold Inquiry Show the invisible Guide without feeling guided Choice of controls

Activity Sheet Guidelines Begin with open play Take advantage of sim features Short activity sheet Minimal wording Scaffold – tables highly effective

Example Challenge Prompts: Find all the ways to… make a complete circuit. What is the largest… molecule you can make? List all the essential items to…make a circuit. What are two ways to… change the Earth’s orbit? How can you make…the gravity force…bigger? Prompting Investigation

PhET’s Future HTML5 – First conversions available August Touch interfaces Coming soon – “Teach with PhET” companion site
