CK-12 Simulations

CK-12 has over 120 Physics and Chemistry Simulations that


enable learners to discover the science that applies to a
real-world setting.

Each Sim is:


● built around everyday examples, not laboratory
models
● equipped with interactive sliders and responsive
graphs
● aligned to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) Sim Teaching Strategies
