PhET - Physics Education Technology at the University of Colorado

A collection of simulations and virtual labs focusing key priniciples of physices.   The simulations help students see how they can "play" with the principles of physics in a virtual lab.   Two labs that were showcased at the PCUC meeting on August 21, 2012:

1. Learning the basics of potential and kinetic energy and add friction into the mix:  skate-park-basics

2. Projectile Motion with Canons!  Learn about trajectories of flying objects by shooting them out of a virtual canon.-motion

Both of these virtual labs are part of the Physics Collection http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/category/physics
