<![CDATA[Conventional physics instruction and limited access to physical laboratory facilities often result in student passivity and difficulties in grasping abstract concepts. This community service initiative aimed to introduce and provide training on the use of PhET Interactive Simulations integrated with student worksheets as a virtual laboratory for the topic of work and energy. The activity employed a method combining the introduction of PhET simulations with classroom instruction, progressing through stages such as demonstrations, guided simulations, discussions, hands-on practical work, and final evaluation. The results demonstrated high levels of student enthusiasm and active participation throughout the learning process. PhET simulations helped students visualize physics concepts more clearly, boosted their interest in learning, and facilitated conceptual understanding through interactive virtual experiments. Overall, the initiative indicates that PhET-based virtual laboratories offer a potential alternative instructional medium to support more meaningful physics learning, particularly in schools with limited laboratory facilities.]]>
