Thank you Bilim Media Group and Effective Communication Strategies for your support of PhET. They are helping to put PhET simulations into the hands of Kazakhstan students. And with their generous donation to our HTML5 fund, they are helping to bring more tablet simulations to everyone!
Have you tried the HTML5 version of Ohm’s Law?
See how the equation form of Ohm’s law relates to a simple circuit. Adjust the voltage and resistance, and see the current change according to Ohm’s law. The sizes of the symbols in the equation change to match the circuit diagram.
Have you tried the HTML5 iPad-compatible Forces and Motion: Basics simulation? Explore the forces at work in a tug of war or pushing a refrigerator, crate, or person. Don’t forget that teaching resources, including teacher activities, can be found at http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/forces-and-motion-basics

Every donation helps! Together we can improve the way science and math are learned.
Thank you everyone who supported our crowd funding campaigns.
We are making progress with now 16% raised towards our “Help Build Table Science Simulations: PhET’s HTML5 Circuit Construction Kit” and at almost $6,000 towards “Help Build ‘Teach with PhET’ Teacher Support Site”.
If you haven’t already donated or if you know teachers, parents, or educators who would like to help, please spread the word and donate today!
We’ve added yet another HTML5 simulation: Friction.
Learn how friction causes a material to heat up and melt. Rub two objects together and they heat up. When one reaches the melting temperature, particles break free as the material melts away.

Try the newest HTML5 simulation addition: ph Scale: Basic. Based on the JAVA pH Scale, the new HTML pH Scale: Basics opens up the world of acids and bases to middle school students.
Test the pH of things like chicken soup, hand soap, blood, spit and soda. Investigate whether changing the volume or diluting with water affects the pH.

Do you remember dragging your feet across the carpet to make your hair stand up (or to shock your friends)? With it being so cold and dry here in Colorado and much of the US, have some fun with static electricity. Then show your students what is really happening with the HTML5 version of Balloons and Static Electricity.

Try the new HTML5 iPad-compatible Forces and Motion: Basics simulation. Explore the forces at work in a tug of war or pushing a refrigerator, crate, or person. Create an applied force and see how it makes objects move. Change friction and see how it affects the motion of objects.

Try the newly published tablet-compatible John Travoltage simulation.
Make sparks fly with John Travoltage. Wiggle Johnnie’s foot and he picks up charges from the carpet. Bring his hand close to the door knob and get rid of the excess charge.
