This database is a collection of teacher-created lessons and activities designed to be used with interactive physics simulations developed by PhET (Physics Education Technology).  Users can browse the materials or search by topic, level, and resource type.  All materials may be freely downloaded and include lesson plans, labs, homework problems, demonstrations, and short concept questions.  Some are intended to be used in a computer lab as students explore a specific PhET simulation; others offer content support and concept extension. A wide range of topics are available, including Newton's Laws, electricity, light, and quantum physics.

Additional context for this material is provided by the ComPADRE-SERC Pedagogic Service.
