Just what it sounds like, plus it has links to an equation solver (which sounds more interesting than it is), Pokemon episodes and dancing hamsters. |

This is where the American Physical Society tries to “communicate the excitement and importance of physics to everyone.” The site tends to present a mix of different ideas, articles and profiles. Sometimes very interesting, other times, not as much. |

The source when you are stuck on a concept. They explain it very clearly and often include helpful animations. I can't recommend this enough. Check it out! |

A video instructional series of 52 half-hour video programs on physics for college and high school classrooms and adult learners. “This series helps teachers demystify physics by showing students what it looks like. Field trips to hot-air balloon events, symphony concerts, bicycle shops, and other locales make complex concepts more accessible.” You will need to register (free) to watch the videos. |

Fun, interactive simulations of physical phenomena from the Physics Education Technology project at the University of Colorado. We use these in class all the time and you can use them at home! You can download the simulations or run them from your computer. |

A teacher in Texas has put together a website that has all sorts of links and information for students,other teachers, anyone. It's a great resource that includes dozens of links, on-line quizes, |

What can you do with physics? Engineering! Not the people who drive the trains, the people who build the world! |
More Engineering |
More engineering (lots of flash animation) for K-12 students |
Discover Engineering |
Even more engineering from Discover Engineering |
Chemical Engineering |
Chemical engineers rely on their knowledge of mathematics and science—particularly chemistry— to overcome technical problems safely and economically. |
Electrical Engineering |
Electrical engineers are involved in all aspects of the electrical, electronic and computing fields and related areas of science and technology that underlie modern civilization. |
Civil Engineering |
Civil engineers aren't just polite, they are problem solvers, meeting the challenges of pollution, traffic congestion, drinking water and energy needs, urban redevelopment, and community planning. |
Mechanical Engineering |
Mechanical engineers use the principles of energy, materials, and mechanics to design and manufacture machines and devices of all types. They create the processes and systems that drive technology and industry. |
