Selected Physics Web Sites For HKIS PhysicsSelected Physics Web Sites For HKIS PhysicsThe Physics of Golf
http://services.golfweb.com/library/books/pog/pog1.html
This web site contains is an article explaining the physics of
golf from GolfWeb, a web magazine. It would be a good resource
for students working on a research
project on sports.
Cockpit Physics
http://www.usafa.af.mil/dfp/lessons/cp_anch1.htm
Cockpit Physics is a course on the Web from the US Air Force Academy.
It's design is based on educational research and is structured
around Karplus' Learning Cycle. The lessons make excellent use
of QuickTime movies, javascript, and other state-of-the-art Web
resources.
Fermi
Lab
http://www-ed.fnal.gov/
Fermi Lab, one of the major physics research institutes, provides
an education page
with many resources.
Sports Illustrated article

si/1996/960304/index.html
Sports Illustrated ran an article in 1996 about Dennis Rodman
and rebounding. Many students read this very enthusiastically
and it helps them make the connection between sports and projectile
motion.
The
Particle Adventure
http://pdg.lbl.gov/cpep/adventure.html
This is a GREAT web site! The Particle Adventure is an interactive
tour of the atom from the Lawrence Berkeley Labs. It can be used
as an interactive tutorial software to lead students through quarks,
mesons, leptons, and other secrets of the atom. It contains 3
paths of information: standard model of particles path, experimental
evidence path, and beyond the standard model. Each path takes
you on an adventure that explains some aspect of particle physics.
The paths include great original (and copywrited ) graphics and
cartoons. Each path contains interactive links . Excellent classroom
activities are included.
Nobel Laureates in Physics
http://www.slac.stanford.edu/library/nobel.html
Descriptions and photos of Nobel Laureates in Physics from the
Stanford Linear Accelerator Center Library. This site is a good
starting point for historical or biographical projects.
Virtual
Prof
http://www.virtualprof.com/
This web site is a great source of help for physics teachers and
physics students. Includes helpful hints on how to be a good student.
Free registration for 1st and 2nd semester help for physics students
plus a pay subscription for access to physicists.
Amateur Scientist
http://www.eskimo.com/~billb/amasci.html
This site has lots of great information. Links to many sites.
Some of particular interest are Kids' Science Projects Elsewhere
and Physics Demo Page. Physics Demo Page includes details of experiments
and links to other good sites for related information and research.
Instructional Materials in Physical Science
http://www.cln.org/subjects/physci_inst.html
This website is a link to the larger website Community Learning
Network Open School, Open Learning Agency of British Columbia,
Canada. The site includes a search engine for searching the Community
Learning Network, a Navigation map, and an alphabetical index.
The Navigation Map includes the categories: Educational Resources
for Students, Teachers, and Parents, Integrating the Internet
into the Classroom, Learn more about Professional Development
in Information Technologies, Province of BC's K-12 Educational
community, What's New on CLN, CLN information, and Awards and
Comments. The Instructional Materials in Physical Science Page
includes links to : 1995 Dow/NSTA Summer Workshop Lesson Plans
for Chemistry, ChemCenter Education Center, ChemCom Resource Centre,
The Education Station, Physical Science Activity Manual, Internet
Lesson Plans for Physical Science, and Chemistry and Physics.
This is a very comprehensive website for teachers of Physical
Science. (You must use the "Go" pull-down menu to return
to Science Junction.)
