PhET - Physical Education Technology by University of Colorado at Boulder.
http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/category/new
I use this website in the classroom as a tool to help students "see" things that are usually unable to be seen. For example, students can see how molecules change both motion and arrangement during a change of state. Students can explore both physics and chemistry concepts through the simulations, allowing them to discover ideas rather than memorize facts. Additionally, I use lessons to connect these ideas to the scientific concepts and vocabulary associated with them.
JASON Project - Education Through Exploration
http://www.jason.org/public/whatis/start.aspx
This site gives students the opportunity to explore the science behind various real-world situations. Students can work through numerous lessons, labs, demonstrations, and explanations in order to deepen their understanding of science, and to apply the scientific concepts they have already acquired to something that is real and tangible in their lives. Here, students can explore, test, read, and write.
