Educational-Fun Physic simulation (science) k and up

 

Fun Physic Simulation- Age Range: 5-18 and up (grades K-12 and beyond, with parental supervision). The University of Colorado at Boulder sponsors this website with free, fun, interactive, research-based simulations of physical phenomena.When you get to the site, you'll see a brief introduction, information on how to run/use the simulations, and a button that says, "Play with sims." Click on that and a new page opens where you will see an icon menu of the latest simulations on the site including:

• Forces and Motion
• Gene Expression
• Plate Tectonics
• Molecule Shapes
• States of Matter

Use the menu on the left side of this same page to search for simulations by topic, for example:

• Physics
• Biology
• Chemistry
• Earth Science
• Math
• Cutting Edge Research

And, you can search for simulations by Grade Level including Elementary School, Middle School, High School, and University.
