Low-Cost Physics Activities - 1 views

  •  
    Physics experiments/activities do not have to be costly in time or resources.  Teachers also do not need to limit their equipment purchases to "high tech" or specialty materials sold exclusively through science supply catalogs.  Many valuable data collection activities can be performed using inexpensive materials that may be purchased from local department, hardware, and/or toy stores.

Physics Teacher Simulations/Animations - 1 views

  •  
    Over 90 Flash(tm) animations used during lectures and labs. Many do NOT contain descriptions in the animations because they are designed to be used in conjunction with a lecturer. Many are moviews while others are student centered explorations. Most of the these animations are in a Flash 5 format. This means they can be used in PowerPoint presentations by download the swf file and dragging it to your slide.

Win? Fail? PHYSICS! - 0 views

  •  
    Inspired by Rhett Allain's physics explanations at Dot Physics, Dan Meyer's blog series "What Can You Do With This?", and Dan's TEDx plea for a math curriculum makeover, I have been collecting video clips that are prime for my physics students to analyze. Videos are categorized by topic to help teachers locate videos for the concepts at hand. Several videos are listed under multiple topics. The videos are presented without any further questions other than "Physics win or physics fail?" (real or fake?)

NOVA | All About G Forces - 2 views

    All About G ForcesWhat's behind gravity forces, and how much of them can we take? By Peter TysonPosted 11.01.07NOVAA few summers ago I took my then nine-year-old daughter on a glider ride. Midway through, as we soared over a coastal landscape, I casually asked the pilot whether he could do any tricks. Without a word, he threw the plane into a dive. We were accelerating straight towards the ground. My daughter and I shouted and grabbed the armrests. Suddenly we were hit with that thrill-inducing pressure familiar from rollercoasters-tensed facial muscles, light-headedness, a sense of altered reality.
