- Fear
of Physics - This site
introduces itself by saying, ‘Fear not! Physics. Explained. Finally.’ The
site includes video clips, animations and information as a large number of
phenomena are carefully explained. Topics include, free fall, the Doppler
effect, the atom, sound, relativity, friction and many more. Also included
are a number of links.
- GCSE
Bitesize Revision - Short revision aids and tests on a variety of topics.
Not comprehensive, and only one version of each test, but a useful addition
to a revision programme.
- Internet
Physicist - Part of the
RDN Virtual Training Suite – (officially launched on 8th May 2001). This site
is a free "teach yourself" tutorial on Internet information skills for physics.
This tutorial covers the key information skills for the Internet environment.
It will allow you to learn how to use the Internet to help with coursework,
literature searching, teaching or research. For example, the tour section
of the tutorial aims to allow you to: · Distinguish the different types of
resources available over the Internet · Identify some of the key Internet
resources for physics · Start collecting a list of Internet sites that can
support your work
- MATTER
Initiative for Schools - This user-friendly site currently contains interactive
resources, such as simulations, exercises, experiments and tasks, designed
to assist teachers and students of physical sciences at A level. The modules
and accompanying glossary have been developed at the University of Liverpool
and should provide a worthwhile introduction to topics such as Brownian motion,
magnetic fields and seismic waves. Some resources for 11-16 are also available
with more promised.
- Physics
gateway - includes many links and also some downloadable textbooks. Level
3 and above.
- physics.org
- A new simple site for any question on physics. The site uses a powerful
natural language programme to give an accurate and relevant answer by the
use of a database of refereed resources that are guaranteed by the IOP. If
you provide more information, your age and knowledge of physics, the answers
become even more focused. This site will find an audience at many levels.
- PhysicsWeb
- best of - The Best of PhysicsWeb brings together articles about the
most exciting areas of modern physics in a single place on PhysicsWeb: astronomy
and astrophysics, atomic, molecular and quantum physics, condensed matter,
optics and lasers, particle and nuclear physics, superconductivity. Features
from Physics World magazine complement PhysicsWeb news stories and essential
links to related Web sites.
- PIVoT
- An online "physics interactive video tutor" from MIT. Requires users to
create their own account. Designed for use from a computer with decent internet
bandwidth. (Added: 9-Aug-2001 By: SS Hits: 38)
- The
interactive Physics problem set - This simple site consists of a set of
100 physics problems suitable for A-level students. They cover such areas
as acceleration, velocity, projectiles, forces and energy. Well-structured
questions are followed by detailed solutions and interactive experiments.
The latter will only run on Macs with Interactive Physics II, installed but
is still useful for other users.
