The use of or integration of PhET simulation in disciplines such as science provides a wide range of opportunities to manipulate, learn, apply theoretical concepts and principles or your own hypothesis with minimal risk and maximizing efficiency. The application of critical and evaluative thinking is encouraged via simulations. It would allow students to consider the ramifications/impacts of a scenario because they are unclear or open-ended. It will enable students to be more eager and interactive to the exercise because they feel as though the situation is real. For instance, designing an electrical circuit (parallel and series) eliminates the problem of inadequate resources and allows the students to experiment without the risk of shot circuits or accidents. Moreover, it provides accurate and authentic information about electrical connections in real life via simulation.  Image of a Series Circuit Simulation
