Description
Engage in learning science and math with the award-winning PhET simulations! Whether understanding atoms, exploring energy, or mastering multiplication, there is a sim for every learner. Perfect for at home, in class, or on the road, this app delivers all PhET HTML5 sims (over 75 sims) in one easy-to-use package.
Developed by experts at the University of Colorado Boulder, PhET sims are used by millions of students every year. The PhET iPad app delivers these exclusive features:
• Offline play: learn on the bus or at the park without a WiFi connection.
• Multiple languages: app translate in many languages (great for bilingual learners).
• Favorites: pick your favorite sims and create your own custom collection.
• Automatic updates: get the latest HTML5 sims as soon as they are released.
• Easy sorting: find the right sims for you.
• Fullscreen: maximize your screen real estate for optimal sim exploration.
PARENTS: Engage your child in science and math discovery.
TEACHERS: Your favorite HTML5 sims at your fingertips, even without internet access.
ADMINISTRATORS: Optimized for school use, so your teachers will be seamlessly up to date.
STUDENTS: Tell your parents there’s an exciting app for learning science and math.
Note: The app does not include PhET’s Java or Flash sims. In addition, although we are currently working on improving the accessibility of our sims, most of the sims included in this app do not include keyboard navigation or screen reader access. As accessible sims become available, they will be updated within the app.
Proceeds from the app support the development of more HTML5 sims. On behalf of the PhET team and the students whose lives you have helped improve — Thank you!

Ratings and Reviews
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.
Developer Response ,
We appreciate your review and your dedication as a teacher during these difficult times!
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

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review!
A review from a 6 year old
I downloaded the app today and promptly lost my phone for an hour as my son kept playing the different games. "This is just too good to stop playing".... One satisfied customer

We love when young science learners get hooked on our sims!!
