Educator Resources

The PhET Interactive Simulations project creates free interactive math and science simulations. PhET sims are based on extensive education research and engage students through an intuitive, game-like environment where students learn through exploration and discovery.

Designed to support thinking about quantum entities, PhysPort's tutorials support various kinds of reasoning with mathematical representations. They are not designed to introduce new content but can be used alongside other course materials and can help students be more reflective about the physics content.

  • Waves, photons and energy
  • Where was the photon?
  • Plane waves and wave packets
  • Particle in a box
  • Tunneling
  • Electron in a wire
  • Energy and position
  • Doppler cooling
  • Zeeman effect
  • LEDs

Partnerships for Informal Science Education in the Community (PISEC)

The Partnerships for Informal Science Education in the Community (PISEC) program connects CU Boulder volunteers with local K-12 students to engage in inquiry-based science activities in a playful, engaging, and welcoming environment. Working primarily with students from groups underrepresented in STEM, PISEC seeks to support students’ development of their own science identity and to cultivate and sustain students' interest in science by providing transformative and empowering experiences.

  • Student agency and Identity
  • Student Productivity
  • Program Design
  • Long Term Impacts on Participants
  • Impacts on Volunteers and Institutions
  • Volunteer Pedagogy
