                              Hello Children, let’s explore PhET Lab          WHAT IS PhET LAB?
                              Basic Circuitry, a fun way to learn
                              how simple electrical circuits work.            PhET is  a free online platform  that
                                                                              offers interactive  simulations  for

                                                                              learning science and math concepts.

                      Developed by the University of Colorado Boulder, it was founded in 2002 by Nobel
                      Laureate Carl Wieman.

                      WHY DO WE USE THE PhET LAB?

                      PhET Labs are used because they offer a powerful, flexible and engaging way to
                      explore scientific concepts, often beyond what’s possible in a traditional lab setting.
                      Here’s why educators and students love them:

                          PhET Lab is fun to use because it feels like a game.

                          It helps you see electricity in action.

                          There are no real wires or electricity, so it’s safe
                          You can try things out, make changes and explore how things work.

                      WHAT IS ELECTRICITY?

                      Electricity is a type of energy. It helps things work and move like lights, TVs, fans and
                      even toys.

                      You can't see electricity, but you can see what it does, like when the lights turn on
                      or a toy moves around.

                      For example:

                          Electricity makes lights glow so we can see.

                          It helps the fan spin and give us cool air.

                          It makes our favourite toys move or play music.

                      WHAT IS A CIRCUIT?

                      A circuit is like a little road or path that electricity uses to move around.
