This lesson is designed as a professional development for K – 12 educators. The goal for this lesson is to introduce fellow teachers to PhET, an interactive website for Math and Science education. In this lesson, we will…
- See, Think, Wonder about PhET
- Share ideas for how to use PhET in classrooms
- Show all the resources PhET has to offer
- Brainstorm ways of using PhET in your own personal class
In order to create this lesson, we used PhET, Google Slides, and Jamboard. Google Slides is used as a way of presenting information to the class about PhET and Jamboard is used for the class to easily collaborate digitally.

I was impressed with PhET and you did a great job of introducing it and demonstrating its use in the classroom. Your PD opened with some background on PhET – a great explainer.
Then we used a Jamboard to “See, Think and Wonder” about PhET before they instructed in specifics. The jamboard worked well to get us started – Great job walking us through how to search, activities, resources. Final activity to think about how we would use in our area.
First rate PD!
