Physics

This is a list of sites that has to do with physics including gravity, forces, light, energy, and all that good stuff.

1) http://www.scienceteacherprogram.org/physics/physicslps.html Here are some great lesson plans developed by physics teachers who attended the summer science teacher program at Columbia University.

2) http://littleshop.physics.colostate.edu/ This is the Little Shop of Physics homepage. It contains videos that show many cool Physics experiments that you could eplicate in your classroom. The Little Shop also puts on teacher workshops and has an open house that provides a great class field trip.

3) http://aspire.cosmic-ray.org/ Physics flash animations and video from University of Utah.

4) http://www.phunland.com/wiki/Home Physics sandbox for us younger folks. You can download the applet(s).

5) http://www.aapt.org/ This is the official website of the American Association of Physics Teachers. They publish The Physics Teacher, which is a practitioner journal.

6) http://www.education.noaa.gov/ National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association. There are resources for both teachers and students. NOAA has some creative outreach/educational resources. Check out their 2009 Year of Science CD.

7) http://www.cmmap.org This is a great resource! It has been developed and managed by the Atmospheric Science group at CSU.

8) http://littleshop.physics.colostate.edu/docs/PartsList.pdf Parts list for activities presented by the Little Shop of Physics group on 3/31. If you don't find what you are looking for, you can get in touch with them directly.

9) http://phet.colorado.edu/index.php This website (CU Boulder) has a series of physics and chemistry models and simulations, such as gas laws and levers.

10) https://pumas.gsfc.nasa.gov/examples/index.php PUMA or Practical Uses of Math And Science is a website developed by NASA to do just what it says. It contains lessons or demonstrations to help students see how they might use science outside of school.

11) http://www.efmr.org/edu/solar2009.pdf This is a cohesive collection of solar energy lesson plans that is really well put together.

12) This interactive website has three modules to explore newton's laws with a follow up quiz at the end. It is really fun and accurate! []
