"Physics 10: Physics for Future Presidents - Fall 2006. The most interesting and important topics in physics, stressing conceptual understanding rather than math, with applications to current events. Topics covered may vary and may include energy and conservation, radioactivity, nuclear physics, the Theory of Relativity, lasers, explosions, earthquakes, superconductors, and quantum physics."

" The Physics Classroom is a really great place where you can access physics tutorials, Mind on Physics Internet Modules (more than 1300 questions designed to improve understanding of common physics topics), problem sets for practice, multimedia (illustrated physics concepts), animations and activity sheets, curriculum corner (pdf downloads to complement the website), laboratories, photos, and more"

Get free, daily practice problems in Physics! AP Physics is challenging, but anyone, with sufficient time and practice, can master the material on the College Board's AP Physics exams. Are you preparing for the AP Physics exam, or looking for study resources? Whether you're a homeschooling student in need of online resources, or just in need of a little tutoring to help you review material covered in your class, you'll find lots of resources

Physics Songs aims to be the world's premier website devoted to collecting and organizing all songs about physics. 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.

"On-Line Physics Textbooks - The Light & Matter Series [Free Physics Textbooks] Dr. Ben Crowell teaches physics and astronomy at Fullerton College in Southern California. He has published a series of physics textbooks under the Creative Commons License. "

"This introductory, algebra-based, two-semester college physics book is grounded with real-world examples, illustrations, and explanations to help students grasp key, fundamental physics concepts. This online, fully editable and customizable title includes learning objectives, concept questions, links to labs and simulations, and ample practice opportunities to solve traditional physics application problems. "

"The OSP Collection provides curriculum resources that engage students in physics, computation, and computer modeling. Computational physics and computer modeling provide students with new ways to understand, describe, explain, and predict physical phenomena."

Man And Safety - Physical Limitations (1963) - Department Of Defense (( Describes Man's Physical Limitations And Relates Them To Human Error Accidents. Delineates Human Frailties In Movement, Sound, Vision, Balance And Vertigo, Tactile Sensitivity, Perception And Reflexes. Reconstructs Several Accidents To Show The Consequences Of Exceeding One's Physical Capacities.

Crayon Physics is an innovative physics puzzle game in which you get to experience what it would be like if drawings you create on your computer were magically transformed into real physical objects. Through 70 levels, your success relies on nothing but your imagination, creativity, and ability to wield a miniature crayon.

"Teachers Clearinghouse for Science and Society Education Newsletter. The editor of this newsletter, Dr. John L. Roeder, teaches at the Calhoun School in NY City. Dr. Roeder is a recipient of the Excellence in Pre-College Physics Teaching Award from the American Association of Physics Teachers"

"toys taught children early lessons in physics, problem solving, and critical thinking. But never fear - there's an app for that! Simple Physics allows these lessons to be brought back into play, by using technology to simulate hands-on experiences."

"Circus Physics is a series of eight short videos. Each of the videos features a circus act that demonstrates a basic principle of physics. Each video clip is accompanied by text and image explanations. "

"Teaching Resources New! "Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Take Physics" Poster There are many resources available to help teachers of physics, astronomy, and physical science. A few are listed here, and we always welcome suggestions for new items to add to the list."

We have selected relevant material from MIT's introductory courses to support students as they study and educators as they teach the AP* Physics curriculum. This section is organized by the topics that you'll see on the physics exam.

"Welcome to Physics 2000, an interactive journey through modern physics! Have fun learning visually and conceptually about 20th Century science and high-tech devices."

The Physics of Sailing Northern California has a storied, 500-year history of sailing. But despite this rich heritage, scientists and boat designers continue to learn more each day about what makes a sail boat move. Contrary to what you might expect, the physics of sailing still present some mysteries to modern sailors."

"The laboratory will provide online access to data from real physical instruments and equipment - developing cutting-edge technology including: remote access to laboratories and observatories: students can operate real physical equipment controlled remotely - a method already established in astronomy virtual laboratories and instruments, such as the virtual microscope: interactive screen experiments will include photo-realistic recordings of physical experiments and replicate the behaviours of real specimens online field investigations: these can involve electronic access to a conventional field trip or offer a virtual experience using satellite-borne and remotely-operated sensors citizen science: a distributed way of gathering data, where non-professionals collect or process data as part of a scientific enquiry. This data can be combined to offer new insights.

Ideas make the world go round. And many of the most potently beneficial are born of science, especially theoretical physics. That's because theoretical physics seeks to understand at the deepest level what the universe is made of and how it works. "

What do fireworks, love and butterflies have in common? How do muscles work? How do colours appear? What kinds of levitation are possible? Why can we see the stars? Is time travel possible? What is the maximum force found in nature? Which problems in physics are still open? This free physics textbook provides the answers - and guarantees as much pleasure as whatever else you enjoy most in life.

A complete physics course for aviation-related trades. Not a review, it's the only physics book geared for aviation training that uses "every day" examples to explain every facet of the subject.
