Timed | Narration |
00:01 | Welcome to this tutorial on Introduction to PhET simulations. |
00:06 | In this tutorial, we will learn-
1. To open PhET webpage, 2. About PhET simulation, |
00:15 | 3. To register/Sign in on the page,
4. To browse activities, 5. To share your activities page, 6. About tips for using PhET, |
00:27 | 7. About offline access,
8. To choose the simulations based on subject and grade level, 9. To download simulations of different file formats used in PhET, |
00:40 | 10. To open the downloaded simulations. |
00:43 | To follow this tutorial, you should have internet connection. |
00:47 | Here, I am using: Ubuntu Linux OS version 14.04,
Firefox web Browser version 53.02.2, Java version 1.7, Flash player version 26.0.0.131. |
01:08 | Files to download and Install: Flash Player and Java are provided in the code files link.
Use the link to download and install the files. |
01:20 | Now let us open PhET simulations page. |
01:24 | Open your default web browser and enter the address:
http://phet.colorado.edu and press Enter. |
01:38 | PhET interactive Simulations page opens. |
01:42 | Now, let us see how to register on the page.
Click on the REGISTER button on the top-right corner of the page. |
01:51 | Register page opens. |
01:54 | Type the relevant data in appropriate fields/text boxes.
For example, your valid Email id, First name, Organization and other details. |
02:11 | Click on REGISTER button at the bottom of the page.
I have already registered on this page. |
02:19 | To confirm the registration, open your Gmail account. |
02:25 | Click on the link sent by PhET Interactive simulations to activate the registration. |
02:32 | After you have registered, you can sign in. |
02:36 | Click on SIGN IN button, beside REGISTER button, at the top of the page. |
02:43 | Sign In by using your registered Email id and Password. |
02:48 | I will Sign In using my registered email id, school.science13@gmail.com. |
02:56 | Enter the password.
Click on Sign In button. |
03:01 | Now let us click on the link What is PhET?. |
03:05 | A new page opens with a heading About PhET. This page has information about PhET. |
03:13 | Below this information, we have a short video about introduction to PhET simulations. |
03:20 | I will click on the play button and play the video for sometime. |

06:51 | All simulations that are under High School category are displayed on the new page. |
06:59 | To view all the available Sims, click on All Sims link.
A new page opens with all the Sims. |
07:08 | Scroll down the page. Notice that we have Simulations in 3 different formats HTML, Java and Flash. |
07:19 | They are denoted by icons on the bottom-right corner of the simulation. |
07:25 | The simulations in HTML format are denoted by HTML5 icon, at the bottom-right corner of the window. |
07:34 | We can directly open HTML format and flash format simulations by clicking on them.
Click on the play button. The simulation window opens . |
07:48 | We can work with the simulation till we are connected to Internet.
Back to the previous page. |
07:56 | To download the simulation for off-line use, let us select Atomic Interactions PhET simulation. |
08:03 | Click on Download button to download the file. |
08:07 | Opening atomic-interactions_en.html file dialog box opens. |
08:14 | Select Save File radio button. Click on Ok button. |
08:20 | In my system, file will be downloaded to the Downloads folder. |
08:25 | Here is the downloaded HTML file of atomic-interactions simulation. |
08:31 | To open the simulation, right-click on the file.
Choose the option Open With Firefox Web Browser. File opens in the browser. |
08:43 | This is the interface of atomic-interactions simulation.
Click on various element radio buttons and explore the simulation. |
08:53 | Let us go to the simulations page. |
08:56 | Let's download a simulation that can be opened as Java file.
For this, I will use the simulation Battery-Resistor Circuit. |
09:07 | To download the file, click on Download button. |
09:11 | Opening battery-resistor-circuit_en.jar file dialog box opens. |
09:18 | Select Save File radio button.
Click on Ok button. File will be downloaded to the Downloads folder. |
09:27 | To work with a jar file, we require terminal in Ubuntu. |
09:32 | To open the terminal, press Ctrl , Alt and T keys simultaneously. |
09:38 | At the prompt, type: cd Downloads and press Enter. |
09:44 | Then type: java space hyphen jar space battery-resistor-circuit_en.jar and press Enter. |
09:58 | Battery-Resistor Circuit simulation opens.
Do not close the terminal, it will kill the process. Click Cancel to continue. |
10:09 | Back to the previous page of PhETs. |
10:13 | Now we will download a simulation that can be opened using Flash reader. |
10:19 | For this, I will use Calculus Grapher simulation as an example. |

11:02 | Here, again we have two installer options, Download installer with simulations only (no activities) and Download installer with simulations and activities. |
11:16 | I will choose the second installer option- Download installer with simulations and activities. |
11:23 | Depending on your operating system you can choose-
Windows(includes Java), Mac OS X, Linux, |
11:34 | I am a linux user. So, I will use linux installer. |
11:39 | Opening PhET-Installer-with-activities_Linux.bin dialog box opens.
Click on Save File button. |
