Take learning further with PhET interactive simulations

Inquiry, exploration and curiosity are at the heart of science. And they’re the foundation of Penda Learning’s game-based science curricula for grades 3–8, physical science, environmental science, and high school biology. Integrated PhET interactive simulations provide students with the opportunity to see the scientific concepts they’re learning through Penda lessons and activities in action and interact with them, testing hypotheses and seeing what happens.

This combination of NGSSS-aligned content with hands-on, inquiry-based learning not only helps students master scientific concepts but helps them become engaged, enthusiastic scientists.

Learn more about the PhET interactive simulations in this short video.
