Implementation of PhET Activities for STEM Education
PhET Interactive Simulations ( https://phet.colorado.edu/ ), a project of the University of Colorado Boulder, provides fun, free, interactive, research-based science and mathematics simulations for use across, primary, secondary, and higher education levels. We extensively test and evaluate each simulation to ensure educational effectiveness. All simulations are open source and free to all students and teachers.
In this course, you will learn how to effectively design and implement a Teacher Guide that makes use of PhET’s simulations for mathematics and science.
To finish this course, you need to complete two assignments with Peer Review: 1) Design a Teacher Guide that integrates an inquiry-based activity with simulations, and 2) Implement your lesson in your class, and reflect on the results.
This course is the fourth and final of four courses that make up the specialization “Active Learning in STEM with PhET Interactive Simulations”.
This course is also available in Spanish as “Implementación de Actividades PhET para la Educación STEM” and in Portuguese as "Implementação de Atividades PhET para Educação STEM".

Thank you so much for allowing me to participate in this course "Implementation of PhET Activities for STEM Education".
It is great, to gain new skills in how to properly implement & use PhET sims within the context of Active Learning for STEM Educators.
I will use the skills and competencies gained in this course, from now on in my science lessons, and I will make use of the PhET sims with proficient assurance.
