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. |
03:27 | On the right-side panel, Videos About PhET are listed.
Click on the videos and watch them. |
03:36 | Back to the home page.
Click on Browse Activities link. Browse Activities page opens. |
03:45 | Here, we have the following lists.
Simulations, Types, Levels and Languages. |
03:56 | Scroll the lists and select based on your requirement. |
04:01 | In Simulations list, I will select Bending light. |
04:05 | In Types list, I will select Lab. In Levels, I will select high school, HS. |
04:14 | In Languages, I will select English. |
04:18 | Click on browse button.
Activities related to the simulation will be displayed. |
04:25 | Select the activity by clicking on the TITLE.
There is also an option to download the activity. |
04:33 | Go to the home page by clicking on the back arrow button.
Click on Share your Activities link. |
04:42 | If you have already signed in, this page opens directly.
Page opens with Author’s name, Author’s organization and Contact email. |
04:54 | In the Simulations box, choose the simulation for which you are going to upload the activity. |
05:00 | In Upload file(s) option, allowed file extension formats are listed. |
05:06 | Click on CHOOSE FILE button. File Upload dialog box opens. |
05:13 | Choose your file with allowed extension to upload.
I have already filled in the relevant data. |
05:21 | Click on Licensing Agreement check box after reading the License agreement.
Click on SUBMIT ACTIVITY button. |
05:31 | Update Success message appears.
Let us go back to the home page. Click on the link Tips for Using PhET. |
05:42 | A new page opens with videos that explain how to use PhET simulations.
You can explore these videos on your own. |
05:53 | Back to the home page of PhETs . |
05:57 | You can either click on play button or Play with Simulations link. |
06:03 | A simulations page opens. |
06:06 | On the left side of the page, you can see a heading called Simulations. |
06:12 | Under the heading, we have a list of links.
New Sims, HTML5, Subject-wise Sims, By Grade Level, Teacher Resources and other links. |
06:26 | Here we can choose the appropriate links as per requirement. |
06:30 | Let us click on By Grade Level link. |
06:34 | A new page opens with four links:
Elementary School, Middle School, High School and University. |
06:44 | Again choose the link as per your requirement.
I will click on High School link. |
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. |
10:25 | For off-line use, download the simulation.
After downloading, use terminal to open the simulation. |
10:33 | Click on the simulation. Calculus Grapher simulation opens with a player. Explore the simulation. |
10:41 | Back to the Home page of PhETs. |
10:45 | At the bottom of the page, click on OFFLINE ACCESS link. |
10:49 | You can see three options:
1.Desktop/Laptop Computer 2.Chrome book 3. iPad. |
10:58 | Click on Desktop/Laptop Computer option. |
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. |
11:49 | The file will be saved in the Downloads folder. |
11:53 | Downloading the files takes a few minutes.
I have already downloaded the Linux installer file to my Downloads folder. |
12:03 | As an assignment:
Explore the PhET interactive simulations webpage. Download and open simulations of different file formats. |
12:13 | Let us summarize. In this tutorial, we have learnt:
1. To open PhET webpage. 2. About PhET simulation, 3. To register/Sign in on the page, |
