College BoardLINKS FOR STUDY and/or HOMEWORKhttp://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hphys.html This link “is a broad-ranging interactive physics exploration environment which is written in HTML with Javascript calculation routines. It is under continuing development by Dr. Rod Nave of the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Georgia State University” I like this site because there are good WORD definitions followed by examples that make sense. Use the flow chart to go to each concept you would like to explore. Become familiar with the way the chart works - there will be homework from this site throughout the year! http://www.fearofphysics.com/ Lots of basic animations to increase conceptual understanding. This is a great site to reduce those equations to the pictures that explain them – a resource for when you just don’t understand what Mrs. St. Clair is saying! http://www.physicsclassroom.com/Default2.html “Learn basic physics concepts through these tutorials written especially for high school students. Check Your Understanding quizzes for each lesson provide an opportunity to assess your mastery of the material.” This site has good material to introduce topics in basic mechanics, waves and optics. http://www.hazelwood.k12.mo.us/~grichert/sciweb/applets.html A nice collection of materials including applets on a large variety of topics. Easy to maneuver around, and has great explanations. Be aware, though, that all of their links are not still available. http://www.colorado.edu/physics/phet/ Interactive and Downloadable Physics Simulations. Excellent. Physics Education Technology. This site has excellent simulations that give perfect data and clean results. I recommend this site highly for study, and there will be homework and/or classwork coming from this site throughout the year! http://www.falstad.com/ Excellent applets under "Math and Physics Applets." Located on Paul Falstad's Home Page. This site also has excellent simulations that give perfect data and clean results. I recommend this site highly for study, and there will be homework and/or classwork coming from this site throughout the year! http://www.physicslessons.com/iphysics.htm A good set of short tutorials with interactive simulations. http://physicsweb.org/. The Internet Pilot to Physics. Just about everything you may need to know about Physics in the world today. http://library.thinkquest.org/11771/english/hi/physics/ “Our goal is to create an educational learning experience in the field of science while maximizing the fun, excitement, and innovation all through the internet... innovative activities that'll help introduce and involve you in fun key concepts.” JUST FOR FUN http://www.dctech.com/physics/humor.php http://www.physics.utah.edu/~mohit/Physics_Cartoons.html |
