Physics Education Technology

Physics Education Technology (PhET) refers to interactive software and digital tools designed to enhance the teaching and learning of physics. Developed by researchers at the University of Colorado, these simulations allow students to visualize and experiment with physical concepts in a virtual environment. By providing engaging, hands-on experiences, PhET helps clarify complex ideas, promotes active learning, and makes abstract topics more accessible. It is widely used in classrooms and online education to support various learning styles and deepen understanding of physics principles through experimentation and exploration.
