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!

Simulation screen moves up and down with the interaction

Some sims involve the user to interact by moving an object such as molecule shapes and waves on a string but the entire screen and setup moves together with the touch of the finger. Please fix the screen so that it doesn’t move. Otherwise AWESOME APP

Developer Response ,

This is a bug that was introduced in iOS, we deployed a work around, and all sims should work now. Please let us know if it is still a problem!

Sim screen still moves with any change

Hi most of my physics sims are still moving eg wave on string. Any patch for this? Thanks!

Developer Response ,

This was a bug introduced by iOS that should be patched in all our sims. The sims should automatically update, but if not, please try reinstalling the app. If you have further difficulties, please email us phethelp@colorado.edu
