Finding Teacher Resources:

PhET provides countless resources for teachers to further support the implementation of their simulations in the classroom. For each simulation, PhET lists "Main Topics" covered in that simulation as well as "Sample Learning Goals" and "Tips for Teachers." PhET also includes for each simulation "Teaching Ideas" (such as lessons and activities) that they have created or educators have shared and submitted on to the site. All of these resources can be found below the simulation summaries that appear after selecting a simulation. 

Another useful way to find Teaching Ideas that have been either developed by PhET or submitted by other educators is to select "For Teachers" on the left-hand menu. Then select "Browse Activities." Here you can find teaching ideas specific to the simulation, type of activity, grade level, and language.
