lots of interesting stats on who teaches physics

Great library of physics videos and demos

Interestng ideas on bio teaching

I was surprised to discover, however, that "some exotic animal species that are endangered in Africa are thriving on ranches in Texas, where a limited number are hunted for a high price." Texas hunters have saved several endangered African species, unfortunately for the animals, the story does not end happily. Video from 60 Minutes below-some excellent material on incentives, ethics and conservation for classroom discussion.

Pogil - Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning. Tremendous cache of resources, particulary in chemistry for inquiry based learning

Soci History, sociology and other studies of science are great windows into the nature of science. They both motivate students and help them interpret the science they encounter in public policy and personal decision-making. How does one begin?

interesting study and imaging of water molecules at the air-water surface. 

Very interesting.  BTW: Mazur also noted in our conversation that his years of experience on the Physics AP design committee made him less than enthusiastic about AP's. He has data showing that student who got 5s on the Physics AP do worse than other Harvard Physics students who did not take the AP's - a sobering thought.

A much smaller version of the diving reflex occurs in humans and is easy to demonstrate in the lab using a few Vernier sensors, a large bowl of cold water, or a cold pack on the face. When cold water (10°C or less) contacts the face, the diving reflex is elicited. Breathing is inhibited and heart rate decreases. This response is not observed during normal breath holding in air or when the face is placed in warm water. Heart rate will actually increase in these two conditions.

Just in time teaching is the idea of using short formative quizzes to help the teacher better understand student thinking.

outstanding video that explains computational simulation of a galaxy. 

great post (with code) of a statistical model of entropy. 

nice video of rube goldberg machine set to music by OK GO.

great video that begs the qeustion how many staircases must you climb to burn off the calories from a snickers. 

great math/physics problem from pole to pole run. 

nice description of Millikan's experiment, plus photo of apparatus, and links to original paper.
