The Physics Classroom
Includes a physics tutorial, a multimedia physics studio, interactive Shockwave files & physics &
direction, & practice vector addition.
Multimedia Physics Studio
Is physics difficult for you to visualize? Do you need to see it to understand it? Then visit the
Physics Learning Site
Includes the basics, vectors, vectors & angles, visualizing motion, uniform acceleration,
projectile motion, & relative velocity.
Yahoo Physics
Links to everything you ever wanted to know about physics.
Amusement Park Physics
How do physics laws affect amusement park ride design? In this exhibit, you'll have a chance to
find out by designing your own roller coaster. You can also experiment with bumper car
collisions.
Circles of Light: The Mathematics of Rainbows
This lab includes a good explanation of reflection & refraction.
Visual Physics
Save your money! Don't buy the simulation software. You can do a lot of simulations from this
site.
Tables of Units of Measurement
From the National Institute of Standards & Technology
Boil Water with Shockwave
Run this experiment -- changing thewater amount, the starting water temperature, & the heating
power. Guess how long it will take to boil the water.
Matter
Learn about the structures & properties of the four states of matter.
Electricity & Magnetism
Learn about static charge, moving charge, voltage, resistance, current, & the properties of
magnets.
Energy
See how energy flows through different states as it affects our world.
Fusion
Discover the forces that are needed for fusion.
Light
Includes information about lasers, color, lenses, reflection & refraction, solar power,
wavelengths & speed of light, mirrors, diffraction, history, & a search engine.
Physics Central: Physics in Pictures
Check out their "picture of the week" for exciting illustrations of nature's infinite variety &
humankind's unlimited ingenuity.
Scientific Notation
A lesson on why & how to use scientific notation.
Machines Make Life Easier
A set of lessons & activities about simple machines.
The Physics of Sports
Links to several sports physics pages.
Baseball Science
Includes features on hitting a fastball, throwing a curve, putting something on the ball, & more.
The Science of Cycling
From aerodynamics to the wheel, bicycles make for interesting science. Check out an interview
with a top mountain biker, learn about frames & materials from a custom bike maker, & try
interactive javascripts that calculate braking distances & energy consumption.
The Science of Hockey
Mechanics, energy, motion, & other physics concepts are covered. There is an excellent section
on how to calculate reaction time.
The Physics & Math of Soccer
The Physics of Swimming
The Science of Tennis
Understanding Sound Intensity
A good decibel scale is included.
Virtual Laboratory of Physics & Astronomy Applets
A large collection of interesting interactive JAVA applets for use in Physics, Astronomy, or
Environmental Science courses. In additions, there are also some JAVA-based tools to assist
in making graphs, figures, spreadsheets, etc.
Waves
An index of information about amplitude, analogue signals, calculations, carrier waves, color,
compression critical angles, diffraction, diffuse reflection, digital signals, echos, electro-
magnetic waves, frequency, ground waves, hertz, human hearing, images, infra-red, light,
longitudinal, loudness, microwaves, mirrors, optical fibers, pitch, plane mirrors, prisms, p
waves, radio waves, rarefaction, reflections, refractions, reverberation, seismic waves, sound,
speed, telecommunications, transmission, transverse, ultrasound, ultraviolet, velocity, virtual
images, water waves, wavelength, & X-rays.
