Physics

• Physicsweb resources Your first stop for internet links to data software applets and humour.
• How Stuff Works A huge resource about how things work.
• How Things Work More science based than above.
• ScienceNet Answers to sciece related questions you can also ask questions.
• Links2learning
• The Creative Science Centre
  
• Explore science an interactive learning experience.
• Wolfram research physics pages Eric Weisstein's World of Science contains budding encyclopedias of astronomy, scientific biography, chemistry, and physics. This resource has been assembled over more than a decade by internet encyclopedist Eric W. Weisstein with assistance from the internet community.
• Electron Microscopes
• Satellite Pictures
• Particle Adventure  From the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of the California Institute of Technology:
• Particle Adventure II
• Sheffield College
• Frank Potter's Science Gems
• The Constants and Equations Pages
• University Physics Departments
• 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.
