The following websites are good places to begin exploration:
The resource allows users to design their own roller coaster, and along the way, they will learn about the laws of gravity, pendulums, and kinetic energy. This resource contains interactive graphics and glossary terms.
The Calculator Pad represents the effort of The Physics Classroom website to provide students with practice solving physics word problems. Approximately 30 problems of varying degrees of difficulty are provided for each topic. Answers can be easily viewed by clicking a button. And an audio file (mp3 format) is provided which explains the solution to the problem in great detail.
This site contains information about women physicists. Each biography page contains a photograph of the physicist, her major contributions and publications, honors, employment, education, additional information, and recommended reading.
This site is part of the World of Science, an online encyclopedia created by Eric Weisstein, a Ph.D. in planetary science, "with assistance from the physics and internet communities."
These online exhibits thoroughly cover many topics.
HyperPhysics is an exploration environment for concepts in physics which employs concept maps and other linking strategies to facilitate smooth navigation. For the most part, it is laid out in small segments or "cards", true to its original development in HyperCard. The entire environment is interconnected with thousands of links, reminiscent of a neural network.
Khan Academy/Physics
Physics the study of matter, motion, energy, and force. Here, you can browse videos, articles, and exercises by topic. We keep the library up-to-date, so you may find new or improved material here over time.
This site consists of an overview of Kepler’s laws, with examples, applications, problems, and related history.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology site provides access to the latest values for physical constants. You can search by name, or display an alphabetical list by category.
This website serves as a clearinghouse of high-quality physics applets that can be used in a variety of settings. Includes information on mechanics, waves, properties of heat and matter, and optics.
The site contains Flash animations that illustrate principles in such categories as optics, sound waves, vectors, and relativity.
Weekly physics questions are offered up by the University of Maryland's Department of Physics.
"Walter F. Smith, Associate Professor of Physics, Haverford College, believes "songs about physics can help students to remember critical concepts and formulas, but perhaps more importantly they communicate the lesson that physics can be fun."
A collection of more than 600 websites that you can search or browse to explore physics on your own. It's also a biweekly online magazine, with archives containing more than 55 selected physics images.
Concise arrangement of links to companies, educational institutions, reference sources, exhibits, organizations, media.
ScienceHack indexes any science videos from YouTube and anywhere else they can find them and packages them fairly cleanly in one spot.
