  • Normal mode sim

    If you arrived here from M.I.T. open courseware looking for the normal mode simulator don’t waste your time, it isn’t included.
  • Amazing!!

    It’s easy to navigate and the simulations are high quality 👍❤️
  • Great

    I downloaded this to demo collisions. It would be very helpful if the coefficient of restitution of the walls could be adjusted independently of the value between the particles.

    For sim suggestions, please visit our help center ( https://phet.colorado.edu/en/help-center/getting-started ) and click the link under "I have a sim idea. Where can I send it" We deeply appreciate such suggestions and address them when funding and time allow!
  • Great app.

    Updated review to 5 stars since the missing programs such as Build a molecule have been added with HTML and work.

    Thank you for the updated review! We continue to work hard to convert our sims to HTML5 and your purchase of the app helps us towards that goal!!
  • Amazing

    Hello, I am a student and was first introduced to PhET lab on a web browser for science and just got the app and it is better then on the web browser, on the app it is very easy to find simulations you liked because you can favorite them and then just have only favorites show, the app is definitely worth the 99 cents.

    We are very excited that you are enjoying the app experience and the ability to favorite! Your purchase helps us bring more simulations to HTML5 so they can run in the app, so thank you for your support!!
  • Science Teacher Approved!

    I can’t offer enough applause and appreciation for what a valuable and wonderful resource this is. The variety and quality of the simulations continues to grow and has been invaluable in my teaching practice for many years. Keep up the good work!

    We appreciate the glowing review! And we are so glad we can be a valuable part of your teaching practice!!
  • Fantastic app for education and fun to use.

    I use this app often in class to help illustrate concepts that can be tricky to visualise. It’s a fun and interactive way of learning about science. It’s my go to place for simulations for chemistry and physics. It has been particularly useful during lockdown when learning virtually has become so important and we are doing fewer experiments. Would highly recommend

    Glad you are enjoying the app!!
  • Fabulous teaching resource

    As an early career science teacher, during lockdown I have been been exposed to lots of new ideas and software. Phet simulations has to be the best of the best for physics. Real time simulations which give you the actual results you tell students about, not the dodgy results from unreliable kit.

    I will be using this for all demos with students to show actual results before even considering letting them near equipment.

    Absolutely superb. Best app on my phone, and an absolute lifesaver during the current climate.
