For the past 130 years, physics has been an integral part of science curriculum at the high school level. Its current vertical position, established about 100 years ago, is now strongly challenged.
A research project on the use of continuous formative assessment in the high-school physics classroom. The website provides participating teachers with a library of assessment items (carefully constructed questions) to choose from for their classes, and with an associated library of teacher aids which provide help with the pedagogically effective use of the items.
A web text by David J. Raymond.
Biographical, educational, and scholarly. Also includes a bit of fun (did you know he was on The Simpsons TV show?)
ZIP-format files for DOS or Windows covering a variety of physics phenomena and applications.
Various explorations of sound, sound detection and sound measurement. Includes a section on physics of sound.
This site describes several tested extracurricular programs geared to introducing hands-on interactive physics activities for K-12 students. Supported by the National Science Foundation.
The web site provides resources for Teachers, Students and Technicians involved in the study of AS or A2 Level Physics.
Course based on Stephen Hawking's best selling book, "A Brief History of Time". The course deals with topics in modern physics such as Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, Quantum Theory, Black Holes and the Creation of the Universe.
This page describes the errors seen most frequently in undergraduate mathematics, the likely causes of those errors, and their remedies. Avoid these errors in order to improve in any math-intensive course, including physics.
