Q:4 Write down the use of PhET simulation? Ans: PhET (Physics Education Technology) is a combination of computer interactive simulations that are developed to support teaching and learning science subjects. It provides fun and interactive research-based simulation. These simulations provide interactivity, make the invisible visible, show visual mental models with multiple representations.(e.g. Object motion, graphs, numbers etc). PhET simulations ensure that all students including students with disabilities are allowed access to high –quality learning experiences.
