"Animated Demonstration of Bernoulli's Principle"

Science is awesome. Food is awesome. Blending the two together rocks faces off. Teachers and parents looking for some projects to introduce their students to the basic principles of chemistry, physics, biology and more can easily turn to the kitchen for inspiration. The following experiments vary when it comes to materials, difficulty levels and cost, so read them over thoroughly before making any commitments. Always practice proper safety precautions as well, most especially when tooling around with fire and acids and other lovely things.

Multimedia Physics Studios A large collection of GIF animations and QuickTime movies designed to demonstrate physics principles in a visual manner. Each animation is accompanied by explanations and links to further information. Shockwave Physics Studios A collection of pages which feature interactive Shockwave files that simulate a physical situation. Users can manipulate a variable and observe the outcome of the change on the physical situation." In addition it contains practice and review resources and teacher tools including a photo gallery, labs and curriculum sheets

"A free ebook in six colour pdf files on physics, the science of motion. Explore the motion of muscles, animals, stones, lightning, stars, light and empty space itself! Be fascinated by the beauty of nature and the concepts of modern physics, from the principle of cosmic lazyness - least action - to gauge symmetry! Browse it here."

"Practical Biology provides teachers of biology at all levels with experiments that demonstrate a wide range of biological concepts and processes. Each practical may be used alone or as a starting-point for open-ended investigations or enhancement activities, such as clubs or open-day events. Experiments are placed within real-life contexts, with links to carefully selected further reading, enabling teachers to show relevance and illustrate the key principles of How Science Works"
