"From Newton's mechanical calculations to Einstein's general and special relativity to the baffling indeterminacy of quantum mechanics, the discipline of physics has become increasingly arcane and complex, and less and less governed by orderly laws."

Little Shop of Physic (LSOP) is a group of science educators and science students based out of Colorado State University. Our goal is to make science accessible and teach people that science is something anyone can do.

PhysicsCentral communicates the excitement and importance of physics to everyone. They invite you to visit the site every week to find out how physics is part of your world. They'll answer your questions on how things work and keep you informed with daily updates on physics in the news. We'll describe the latest research and the people who are doing it and, if you want more, where to go on the web.

The word "Exploriment" is a portmanteau of "Explore" and "Experiment", and combines the sensibilities of both words. The philosophy of Exploriments is to encourage true scientific temper by creating a safety net in which experimentation can progress without fear of failure, spills, expense or mishaps. An Exploriment is a visual, interactive environment created by a computer program. It is a personal virtual laboratory for Physics, Chemistry and Math learning.

"LearnersTV offers free online interactive science animations on subjects like Biology, Physics and Chemistry. These Animations will help you visualize and understand difficult concepts."

"Virtual Experiments have been recorded at Reading in physics and in other areas of science. Some examples are listed below. In the first section experiments most suitable for schools are listed, following this are experiments more suited to higher levels. The repertoire of VEs is constantly being increased."

The Molecular Workbench (MW) software: Is a modeling tool for designing and conducting computational experiments across science. Provides an authoring system for instructional designers to create and publish model and simulation-based curriculum materials. Delivers an interactive learning environment that supports science inquiry. Is free and open-source.

"What is Virtlab? Virtlab is a series of hands-on experiments and demonstrations using a simulated chemistry laboratory. Students can also build their own simulations using electronic spreadsheets. Our authors pioneered this approach and have refined it over many years. We are among the first educators in the world to integrate personal computers and science education."

This interactive site is great for seeing how the body, chemicals, tools, etc. work. Excellent study and demonstration resource.

Interactive science simulations for various classes.
