The American Physical Society represents some 45,000 physicists, and most of our work centers on scientific meetings and publications-the primary ways that physicists communicate with each other. With PhysicsCentral, we communicate the excitement and importance of physics to everyone. We invite you to visit our site every week to find out how physics is part of your world. We'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. So stick with us. It's a big, interesting world out there, and we look forward to showing you around.

The annual anniversary of the tragedy of 9/11 passed with much fanfare as it has been passing for last ten years. Taking stock of things as an ordinary US citizen, you will feel that as an individual, you have lost much and as a country, the United States has lost even more than you do. The first blow that the incident of 9/1 caused was restrictions on the personal freedoms specifically if you belong to Muslim and Indian community, having your surname or first name sounding Muhammad, Mahmood or Ahmad. You go through constant hassles and mental torture of eves dropping by the security agency and then bickering and slander by the all and sundry as if you are a walking anathema in the United States. Thought this is not common and widespread, yet it is a fact that several Asian and Middle Eastern Muslims have testified.
The second fallout is decrease in tolerance and misuse of the freedom of expression. Again the most of the victims are Muslims even though one has been living in the United States for decades. A home to so many freedom loving persons, the United States is no more considered a safe haven for several migrant Muslim communities. They are no more tolerated in the same way as they used to enjoy freedom before the 9/11 and second is attacks that should be called vicious attacks like the fellow Terry Jones and recently filming against Islam and Prophet [PBUH] are quite on the rise. It is sheer misuse of freedom of expression that different anti-Islamic demagogues are spitting their venom using social media and other platforms and creating physical violence. The consequence is that the Americans specifically ordinary Americans are becoming targets of the ensuring violence as it has happened in Libya and Egypt the other day.

The resources are designed to be used as rich sources of visually stimulating material, making use of both animations and drag and drop interactivity. The appropriate Key Stage is indicated for each resource.
The table contains all the usual information you find in a periodic table of elements, but then under each element, it lists real-world items that contain that element.
This opens up a new avenue of projects for Science teachers where students can not only learn the different elements, but then connect them to real world uses and even explore the method in which the element is applied. For example, assigning a student to report on radon, they'll see it's a key element in earthquake predictors.
