PhET.colorado.edu
an overview
A site providing science (Physics, Biology,
Chemistry, Earth Science and Mathematics)
simulations which can be accessed via:
http://phet.colorado.edu/
The site first focused on physics simulations, hence:

attribute the work to:
Advantages and
Disadvantages
as viewed by the presenters
Advantages
The simulations can
be used online and
offline.
The simulations are
accompanied with
lesson plans/teaching
materials
One needs to know
thoroughly the
underlying concept in
each simulation
before using them
Disadvantages
Advantages
The simulations are
categorized
accordingly for a more
convenient browsing
A simulation can
belong to two or more
categories.
Disadvantages
Advantages
The site allows for the
submission of
teaching materials in
any language.
There are no teaching
materials available in
other languages.
Disadvantages
