| Lots of fun facts and quotes from the famous physicist. An interactive journey through modern physics. Our mission is to preserve and make known the history of modern physics and allied fields including astronomy, geophysics, optics, and the like. The history of a community offers invaluable guidance. It shows what has worked well in the past, and what has not; it tells us what we are like, and how we became that way. History not only aids the physics profession in its work, but attacks misconceptions that the public holds about the nature of the scientific endeavor. Myths can be put to rest only by facts and informed analysis. A Java simulator that teaches the application of physics principles in the design of a roller coaster. Students can design their own coaster. High-Energy Physics, the science of matter, space and time. The scientist, man and his world. This site has many scientific viewpoints on everyday happenings taken from a practical viewpoint. A list of several links to several different physics related topic areas. A site devoted to science and Bill Nye's television show A great site covering the science and physics behind the sport of cycling. A great site covering the science and physics behind the sport of baseball. A great site covering the science and physics behind the sport of hockey. One day, all of the world's famous physicists decided to get together for a tea luncheon. Fortunately, the doorman was a grad student, and able to observe some of the guests... Top of Page |

| The objective of the course and the virtual laboratory is to introduce students to experimentation, problem solving, data gathering, and scientific interpretation early in their careers--perhaps as high school seniors or college freshmen. Holography, lasers and holograms. prototype magnetically levitated (maglev) trains cruising at up to 400 kilometers per hour have pointed the way to the future The Stirling engine is a heat engine that is vastly different from the internal-combustion engine
The original, 5,939-foot-long Tacoma Narrows Bridge, popularly known as "Galloping Gertie," opened to traffic on July 1, 1940 after two years of construction, linking Tacoma and Gig Harbor. It collapsed just four months later during a 42-mile-per-hour wind storm on Nov. 7, 1940. ...wonderfully simple explanations on electric motors, computers, etc.) ...rapid prototyping of just about anything.

| Online Chemistry Textbook. Great site for several different chemistry topics. Resources for teachers and students grades 9 through 12 learning about plastics. Great Resource for anything chemistry related. This site is an ever growing warehouse of the kinds of projects some of the more demented of us tried as young people, collecting in one place many of the classic, simple science projects that have become part of the collective lore of amateur science. It is a sort of warped semi-scientific cookbook of tricks, gimmicks, and pointless experimentation, concoctions, and devices, using, for the most part, things found around the house. These are the classics. Strange goo, radios made from rusty razor blades, crystal gardens... amateur mad scientist stuff. If you happen to learn something in the process, consider yourself a better person for it. |
