Abstract

The article examines the use ofinteractive simulation experiments (PhET) inteaching Natural Science. By providing anoverview of the characteristics of PhET andanalyzing relevant studies, the article evaluates theresponse of using PhET to foster the naturalscientific competence of junior high schoolstudents. The study proposes a teaching processincorporating PhET, supporting traditional realexperiments, within the topic Electric in NaturalScience 8. The findings indicate that PhET makesa positive and significant contribution tosupporting real experiments in fostering the naturalinquiry skills of junior high school students, asevidenced by the results of pedagogical experiments.
