Ask The Van - 1 views

  •  
    This is a site run by the UIUC Department of Physics and their outreach program The Physics Van. Although this is focused more towards the elementary level, it is still a good source for Q and A about physics topics.
  •  
    This web page is from the UIUC Physics Van and it is a place where people can ask questions about things in their everyday life and get answers from people who are knowledgeable in related scientific fields.

Popular Physics Misconceptions - 0 views

  •  
    This page lists some misconceptions which have been taken from college Physics students' essays and exams. It could be a good tool to show students that even college physics students have basic misconceptions and use this to emphasize the importance of knowing the basics very well.

PhET Simulations - 0 views

  •  
    This is another site full of good physics simulations which could be used to help students explore different topics in physics. These simulations may explore topics which are too complicated for students to directly explore in classroom experiments, or topics which are typically confusing for students.

PBS Zoom Science Experiments - 1 views

  •  
    This website has a lot of fun easy science experiments. I found this website because my cooperating teacher uses it in her study hall classroom. The experiments relate to many different types of science. Most of them require minimal materials!

Experimentopia - 1 views

  •  
    I found this site when looking for ideas to use in an upcoming demo/lesson about chemical and physical properties/changes. I guess there are only 25 experiments listed currently, but it gave me some good ideas to potentially use!
