Free Science and Math Simulations for All Grades

by grade· college· elementary· high school· kids activities & games· math· middle school· science· subjects

24 Jul

The University of Colorado at Boulder created a site full of dozens of interactive simulations in subjects such as physics, biology, chemistry, earth science, and math.

These free simulations can be used without registration.  I allow my homeschooled teens to access the site freely, for curiosity’s sake. When we’re studying a certain concept, I’ll go the site and search for a simulation in that subject and topic area.

Free Science and Math Simulations

You can use this site alongside your lesson plans, of course, but it’s also a site where you could let the kids – especially young teens – freely roam, to pursue what interests them most.

Have your teen create his own simulation!

The simulations are open source.  This means,   your student may work on, and add, their own simulation to the site for others to use for learning!  Each simulation goes through testing for accuracy.

How to Access the Free Science and Math Simulations:

Click the orange “Play with Sims” button.  Look for new simulations; they are added to the site frequently (perhaps one created by your own child!).

Good Starting Points:

This Teacher Page has activities created by other educators
Recommended Grade Levels:  All, from Elementary, to Middle, High and even College Level

Free Science & Math Simulations

We’ve highlighted these other places to find free science and math simulations and online games:

    Oh, joy! More fun for Mom! I’m having trouble setting this website aside in order to work on my regular tasks. Many helps for teaching available here. THANK YOU!

    I'd forgotten about the Twinkie project….can only vaguely remember it.  Maybe I should check it out again?

Balancing Homeschooling while Working From Home

At times, well-intentioned advice suggests that dedicating an entire day to homeschooling leaves no room for a job during regular hours. This is not necessarily so. My husband and I owned a garden center for a few years while also homeschooling. After that, I had an online business while homeschooling. We did not “only work … Read More about Balancing Homeschooling and Working From Home – a Realistic Approach

Also, it was a hassle packing up the baby and toddler to commute the school kids from two different school locations, … Read More about Going from Public School to Home School? Here’s My Advice
