Physics Classroom Resources
This collection of lessons and web resources is aimed at classroom teachers, their students, and students’ families. Most of these resources come from the National Science Digital Library (NSDL). NSDL is the National Science Foundation’s online library of resources for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education. See www.nsdl.org
IPPEX! (The Interactive Plasma Physics Education Experience)
http://ippex.pppl.gov
This site contains interactive plasma physics topics ranging from electricity, magnetism, energy and fusion.
Atomic Archive
http://atomicarchive.com
This site explores the complex history surrounding the invention of the atomic bomb – a crucial turning point for all mankind.
ASPIRE – Astrophysics Science Project Integrating Research & Education
http://aspire.cosmic-ray.org
More about physics than astronomy, this web site, created by teachers for teachers, employs a powerful combination of inquiry-based content, along with interactive, hands-on labs.
The Physics Classroom
http://www.physicsclassroom.com
Hosted by Study Works Online and written by science teacher Tom Henderson, The Physics
Classroom is an online physics tutorial written for high school physics students.
BC Education

In-class Exercises for Mechanics,
Waves and Thermodynamics
http://aa.uncw.edu/digilib/physics/x_physlets_01/physletprob/ch8_problems/default.html
Examples of curricular material are from introductory physics and advanced materials. Can be
used at the beginning of class to introduce topics, during the middle of a topic to test
whether students are ready to cover additional material or at the end of a topic to test
students' knowledge of the material just covered.
Activity-Based Physics
http://www.physics.umd.edu/rgroups/ripe/perg/abp/
Aims to sustain and enhance efforts to render introductory physics courses more effective and
exciting at both the secondary and college level; and uses the outcomes of physics education
research along with flexible computer tools to promote activity-based models of physics
instruction.
Contributions of 20th-Century Women
to Physics
http://www.physics.ucla.edu/~cwp
A searchable archive of data on 86 women of the 20th-Century who made original and important
contributions to physics, including mathematical physics.
