The classic physics experiment involving sound, a tube of propane and fire. Created for Flash Forward 2006, but useful in any case where you are not allowed to have fire. I push through the tube 449 Hz then higher frequencies, then some jazz and then some rock. This is real life sound visualization.

Get daily practice problems in Physics! Preparing for the AP Physics exam? Looking for study resources? AP Physics is hard... ... but anyone, with sufficient time and practice, can master the material on the College Board's AP Physics exams. 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 here

"The basic idea is that teachers and librarians can upload and share all of their lessons by re-creating them (cutting and pasting sometimes) online and then sharing them with the public. It's a bit more time consuming than just uploading your lessons, but that allows all of the lessons to be searchable and organized. I've been using it for awhile now, and while there aren't many library lessons out there now, there are more added every day. As an added bonus, for every 50 lessons you upload and share, you can get a $10 Starbucks gift card!"

The comprehensive grade-by-grade science vocabulary lists below are based on state and national science standards. They cover the key science content areas for each grade from kindergarten through high school. The lists can be used with all twenty of VocabularySpellingCity's learning activities. For each grade and science content area, there are both detailed lists and summary lists. For example, in the kindergarten science section, motion is one of the key areas. For kindergarten science, there are 85 motion vocabulary words organized in 9 lists. There is also a summary list that includes only the 8 most significant terms relating to motion at the kindergarten level. Offering both detailed lists and summary lists provides teachers with just the right vocabulary tools they need regardless of how much detail their lessons require at any given time -- whether introducing a new science topic, reviewing an already studied science category, or delving deeply into a particular scientific area, it's all just a click away!
