ForgeFX is pleased to present this showcase of simulations created for Pearson Prentice Hall's digital science curriculums. ForgeFX has developed over 100 simulation-based learning applications for Pearson Education, helping to create products that allow students to become active participants in the learning process.

VCISE is a collection of interactive, online simulations designed to enhance traditional middle and high school science curricula by providing supplements to experimental laboratory or field work. The inquiry-based activities emphasize the scientific method. Students make observations, propose hypotheses, design experiments, collect and analyze data generated by the simulation, and synthesize and communicate results through an electronic notebook and an online report.

OnlineLabs.in aims to serve as a comprehensive, encyclopedic reference about online labs in a variety of subjects, particularly virtual laboratory simulations for science education. We categorize useful listings for online lab simulations, virtual science experiments and free educational software.

PhET is a great site. I have used it many times. The nice thing is that it has good lesson plans included.

Nice chemistry simulations.

Free online physics, chemistry, biology, earth science and math simulations.

Simulation of Gas Laws

The Virtual Courseware Project produces interactive, online simulations for the life science laboratory or for earth science field studies. The activities are designed to enhance an existing curriculum and include online assessments. They can be used by students ranging from middle school, high school, or college classrooms.

Your goal in this game is to help the Guinard family get an education and improve their lives.

We use this simulation in my social studies class. After studying Haiti, the class tries to keep them alive for four years and get an education for all of them. (Hint: volunteering can earn you education credits).

Deb, Thanks for the feedback on this site!

Great online simulation that challenges students on their views about poverty and homelessness.

Forgot about this site until Free Tech for Teachers highlighted it recently...

Awesome Centripetal Force Sim

Mission US is an interactive adventure game designed to improve the understanding of American history by students in grades 5 through 8.
