Editorial Review & Verification
Hands-on VerifiedSTEM educators, students, and self-learners needing interactive, offline-capable physics, chemistry, and math laboratory simulations
+ Key Strengths (Pros)
- ✓ Comprehensive suite of research-grade interactive STEM simulations across physics, chemistry, and mathematics
- ✓ One-click export of self-contained single-file HTML5 packages (e.g. 4.93 MB) that run completely offline without internet
- ✓ Real-time interactive vector graphics, fluid density parameters, and physical force readouts without registration
− Limitations (Cons)
- − Catalog website loads Google Analytics (G-4EVJVBSTB9) and Cloudflare RUM telemetry
- − Standalone simulation packages can be large (several megabytes per HTML bundle)
Catalog signals & Product Power & Utility Review
The web catalog initiates 4 observed telemetry requests to Google Analytics and Cloudflare RUM, but operates without user accounts or personal data capture. Exported HTML5 simulations can run completely disconnected from the network with zero data egress.
Audited interactive simulation 'Buoyancy: Basics'. Successfully manipulated submerged volume and density parameters with instant vector updates, and exported a self-contained 4.93 MB offline HTML5 executable bundle with zero authentication gates.
- ✓ Catalog classification: client-side processing
- ✓ Processing location does not establish retention or tracking behavior
- ✓ Offline support has not been recorded
- ✓ No dedicated tracker assessment is recorded here
- ✓ No-login access does not establish anonymity
- ✓ Consult the provider policy for logs and cookies
- ✓ Public code repository accessible at https://github.com/phetsims/phet-info
- ✓ Community inspectable code base
- ✓ Independent code verification possible
- ✓ The latest check received a response
- ✓ Availability can change after the recorded check
- ✓ This is a reachability observation, not an uptime guarantee
