Uses in education. The simulations offered at PhEt cover many science topics in subject areas including Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science and math. The simulations can be to highlight something you are covering in class. It could be to set up an experiment you may be trying. It can also be the actual experiment you are going to do in class. It is a great place for students to take what you are learning in class and apply that knowledge to a real-life situation and make some predictions on what is going to happen.
Below is a link to an example of a popular PhEt simulation dealing with probability using the game Plinko:
