To help students visually comprehend concepts, PhET simulations animate what is invisible to the eye through the use of graphics and intuitive controls such as click-and-drag manipulation, sliders and radio buttons. These simulations also offer measurement instruments including rulers, stop-watches, voltmeters and thermometers.
 * PhET** is a website developed by the University of Colorado research team, which provides free interactive simulations of physical phenomena.


 * [|Visual Math Learning]** is a free interactive multimedia on-line tutorial for math students.


 * [|Clicker resources]** show the benefits of, and offer practical tips on, using clickers in the classroom. Clickers are wireless personal response systems that can be used in a classroom to anonymously and rapidly collect an answer to a question from every student; an answer for which they are individually accountable. This allows rapid reliable feedback to both the instructor and the students and also enable faculty to ask targeted multiple choice questions that get at student understanding and application of knowledge.

Cons: The games maybe addictive.
 * PhysicsGames.net**is a fun way to learn the concepts of physics. The website contains different games which apply the basic principles of physics.


 * Toys from Trash** Arvind Gupta shares simple yet stunning plans for turning trash into seriously entertaining, well-designed toys that kids can build themselves -- while learning basic principles of science and design. This is extremely effective in schools which do not have the necessary infrastructure and provides a cost effective way of doing science experiments.
