This study focuses on students' exploration of work and energy using PhET interactive simulation and involving 36 students of high school in physics class. Students were working in small groups to explore virtua
PhET is a digital space that holds more than 150 online-based science and math simulations. These are interactive so students can take part as they might in a real-world experiment. This works for as young as kindergarten and runs up to graduate level. STEM subjects covered are physics,...

Instrumental orchestrations have appeared in several mathematics education studies with different ICTs, such as the dynamic geometry software (Erfjord, 2011; Ndlovu et al., 2013; Savuran and Akkoç, 2023), PhET interactive simulations (Findley et al., 2019), programming (Buteau et al., 2022)...

By way of example, the wave phenomena app was used in an elementary tenth grade1 physics class to teach the characteristics of waves, see Fig. 2(a). For this purpose, waves were first defined in class as oscillations propagated in space through coupled and vibratory systems. The app was ...
Serious games and interactive simulations have been increasingly integrated into science education as part of the teaching-learning process (Ceberio et al., 2016). They have been used to teach physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics and other sciences (Adams, 2010). Our previous work (Ameerbakhsh...
PhET Interactive Science Simulations is a suite of research-based interactive computer simulations for teaching and learning physics, chemistry, math, and other sciences. Compiled by Sam McKagen, based on material from the PhET Team. Process of Science means going beyond the content to help students...

Helping primary students understand physics concepts, especially when they are not visible, is problematic for teachers. Teaching science is a multimodal communication endeavour (Van Leeuwen,2005) that involves learners making meaning through negotiating shared representations (Jewitt,2008; Lemke,1998). We...
