PhET - Physics Interactive Simulations
A collection of simulations and virtual labs focusing on first-year college physics.
PhET provides fun, interactive, research-based simulations of physical phenomena for free. We believe that our research-based approach- incorporating findings from prior research and our own testing- enables students to make connections between real-life phenomena and the underlying science, deepening their understanding and appreciation of the...

Really great stuff for teaching physics. Interactive, clear simulations. Excellent.

This site is highly recommended for use as either "stand-alone" simulated labs or as an effective instructional aid to class-room lectures. Most of the simulations are well-thought of and illustrate the main physical principles adequately. The teaching notes provided by instructors who have already used the simulations are noteworthy and helpful.

This suite of applets and associated research are phenominal. I have been using them in my general physics courses for more than 4 years.
You can use the apps in what I call "experimental" mode to try to generate some data and allow students to do their own.
Technical Remarks:
You probably want to download the java applets to avoid difficulties over a slow network, and then have to make sure your computers are setup properly, but once that is done, it is smooth sailing.

Sirve para producir un acercamiento del alumno a ciertos simuladores que pueden ayudar en química y biología.
