"Physics news, jobs, and resources."From the American Physical Society.
Physics and Astronomy Online Education and Reference
DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals
"A community-curated online directory that indexes and provides access to high quality, open access, peer-reviewed journals."From StudyWorks!"Physics. Explained. Finally."American Association of Physics Teachers
"A network of free online resource collections supporting faculty, students, and teachers in Physics and Astronomy Education.""Interactive Video Vignettes (IVVs) are designed as ungraded web-based assignments for introductory physics students. They combine the convenience of online video coupled with video analysis as well as the interactivity of an individual tutorial. Each online vignette addresses a learning difficulty identified by PER. Most of them take a student about 10 minutes or less to complete."Statistical and Thermal Physics
"A collection of information and resources for teachers of Statistical and Thermal Physics. The resources in this collection are supplements to standard Statistical and Thermal Physics textbooks and include student activities, background information, and applications. New users may create an account to personalize their use of the Statistical and Thermal Physics web site. This will allow them to suggest resources, add comments, and organize resources."IOP Science: Fully Open Access Journals
"Now, anyone with internet access and a web browser can enjoy reading2 a high quality up-to-date copy of [Richard] Feynman's legendary lectures. This edition has been designed for ease of reading on devices of any size or shape; text, figures and equations can all be zoomed without degradation.""Interactive Plasma Physics Topics, ranging from electricity, magnetism, energy, and fusion." From the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory.Exploring the world of optics and microscopy.National Aeronautics and Space Administration."A large collection of activities ranging from labs that can be done in the classroom to tabletop demonstrations suitable for informal education venues. Our group is the NSF-funded UW Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) Education and Outreach Group. We use examples of advanced materials and nanotechnology to enhance public understanding of fundamental science and engineering concepts and to share the excitement and potential of these interdisciplinary fields with K-12 audiences and the general public."Astrophysics Science Project Integrating Research and Education. "Fun interactive labs, ... well designed and produced curriculum content, created by teachers for teachers.""We've scoured dozens of educational project websites hosted by SERC to find the activities and resources of highest interest to K-12 educators. On this site, there are hundreds of classroom activities organized by grade level and topic as well as guidance on effective teaching. Many of these resources were expressly developed with a K-12 audience in mind. Others can be adapted to K-12 classrooms even though they were originally developed with a college audience in mind. ""Since 2013 we have been making cross-platform, run-anywhere, programs to help physics students around the world master the big ideas in physics."From NOVA on PBS.From the Institute for Dynamic Educational Advancement."If you’re looking to find more info about engineering and meet students like you, you’ve come to the right place." For teachers. From the American Society of Engineering Education.An introduction to particle physics.Antimatter: Mirror of the Universe
"Discover what antimatter is, where it is made, and how it is already part of our lives." From CERN."Animated, interactive, and game-like environments in which students learn through exploration." From the Physics Education Technology project."oPhysics: Interactive Physics Simulations
"An online environment in which students experience the excitement of scientific collaboration in this series of investigations into high-energy cosmic rays. Schools with cosmic ray detectors upload data to a "virtual data" portal where ALL the data resides. This approach allows students to analyze a much larger body of data and to share analysis code. Also, it allows schools that do not have cosmic ray detectors to participate in research by analyzing shared data."Undergraduate Computer Programs
"A group of Java programs which were designed to help undergraduate engineering students. These programs cover the basics of aerodynamics and propulsion.""Provides an infinite supply of physically accurate subatomic particle decay events and the tools with which to understand them." From the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the U. S. Naval Observatory (USNO).Back to Top
