PhET Interactive Simulations, a project at the University of Colorado Boulder, is a non-profit [1] open educational resource project that creates and hosts explorable explanations. It was founded in 2002 by Nobel Laureate Carl Wieman. PhET began with Wieman's vision to improve the way science is taught and learned.
Perkins was named as a Fellow of the American Physical Society, in the 2021 class of fellows, "for profound contributions to physics education through the vision and leadership of the PhET project, resulting in the creation of many high-quality interactive simulations for teaching physics to hundreds of millions of students and teachers globally".

An instructional simulation, also called an educational simulation, is a simulation of some type of reality (system or environment) but which also includes instructional elements that help a learner explore, navigate or obtain more information about that system or environment that cannot generally be acquired from mere experimentation.
Foucault's pendulum in the Panthéon, Paris. The Foucault pendulum or Foucault's pendulum is a simple device named after French physicist Léon Foucault, conceived as an experiment to demonstrate the Earth's rotation.
The term "explorable explanation" was first used in passing by Peter Brusilovsky in a 1994 paper, [1] but did not enter into common use until 2011, when Bret Victor published an eponymous essay [2] (the essay included an explorable explanation of a digital filter). Victor distinguishes explorable explanations from isolated interactive widgets ...
