From site: Activity-Based Physics is a multi-university project to sustain and enhance current efforts to render introductory physics courses more effective and exciting at both the secondary and college level. This program represents a multi-university collaborative effort by a team of educational reformers to use the outcomes of physics education research along with flexible computer tools to promote activity-based models of physics instruction. This multifaceted program includes the refinement of existing written materials, apparatus, instructional techniques, and computer software and hardware; the creation of new instructional materials and approaches; and dissemination. The refinement and development of new instructional strategies and materials will be informed by a comprehensive program of classroom testing and educational research.

From site: Anyone can use Bang! Boing! Pop!, though it is best-suited for students in grades 7-12 with no previous experience in physics.
Bang! Boing! Pop! is designed for students to use at their own pace. Hypertext links the student through the physical concepts, including conservation, energy, linear momentum, and angular momentum. Students also have at their disposal a hypertext physics glossary in case they stumble upon new vocabulary. Java-enhanced applets allow for the student to interact with physical quantities, building intuition while still having fun. Short quizzes covering basic physics concepts also allow the student to monitor his/her progress.

From site: Welcome to the NROC™ College Preparatory Physics course. This course is divided into two semesters and is designed to acquaint you with topics in classical and modern physics. The first semester discusses topics in Newtonian mechanics, oscillatory motion, waves and static electricity. The second semester discusses the topics of current electricity, magnetism, electric circuits, sound, fluids and gases, heat, and modern physics. The course emphasizes conceptual understanding of basic physics principles, with some problem solving. There are interactive conceptual and basic problem-solving examples throughout the lessons, as well as interactive lab simulations and in-school labs.
This course is organized into 6 units (3 units in the first semester and 3 units in the second semester). Each unit is comprised of chapters, and each chapter is broken down into three sections: Readings, Lessons, and Assignments.
LearningReviews.com note: The reading assignments that accompany each lesson are drawn from textbooks which the students must obtain access to on their own.

From site: If you're looking for ideas for a science fair project or demonstration, these pages may help you find a topic that would be fun to explore. They also provide ideas for teachers who are looking for classroom demonstrations or hands-on, inquiry-based student exercises to expand their curriculum. I am an Emeritus US Geological Survey Geophysicist specializing in seismology and earthquake location programming...
The Physics section has some fun projects, such a instructions on levitating a magnet with the help of some diamagnetic carbon. There is also a link to the Magnitudes of Physics site with a huge table of interesting physical measurements.

From site: IPPEX uses interactive multimedia over the World Wide Web to engage students in formulating questions and creating meaning from their own experiences. Rather than passively learning facts and following routine instructions, students solve problems and learn how to find information and solutions in complex, non-linear material (as actual scientists must). Some activities are similar to a video game or a CD-ROM presentation. Abstract concepts, such as nuclear energy, are developed from concrete experience and examples from everyday life.
Engaging background material on energy, matter, electricity, magnetism and the laws of motion is woven into a scenario that motivates today's plasma scientists: "By better understanding the forces of the universe we can harness the energy of the sun and stars to improve human life in an environmentally responsible way."
Students create a knowledge base that helps them operate a virtual tokamak (a fusion energy device) and analyze data from the actual experiment (which may have been acquired just minutes before) in the same way that professional physicists do.

From site: The Physics Education Technology (PhET) project is an ongoing effort to provide an extensive suite of simulations for teaching and learning physics and chemistry and to make these resources both freely available from the PhET website and easy to incorporate into classrooms.
The simulations are animated, interactive, and game-like environments in which students learn through exploration. In these simulations, we emphasize the connections between real life phenomena and the underlying science and seek to make the visual and conceptual models that expert physicists use accessible to students.

Physics 2000 makes physics more accessible for students and adults through the use of interactive imagery contains in many flash videos. It demonstrates the connections between modern technology to general principles by working backwords in time to when these principles were formulated. Major areas of emphasis include Einstein's legacy, the atomic lab, and the theoretical scientist.

From site: If you are looking for basic physics information, stay on this site. It's not just physics for kids, it's for everyone. We have information on motion, heat and thermodynamics, electricity & magnetism, light, and modern physics topics...
So you're asking, what is PHYSICS? Everything in the universe has an effect on every other thing. Physicists study those forces and effects. It is a science that relates to all other sciences: Chemistry, Biology, Geology, Astronomy, Meteorology, Engineering, etc. If you can name it, chances are physics is involved.
Everything on Earth, everything in our solar system, everything in our galaxy, and everything in the universe moves and exists because of forces. Physics studies those FORCES and interactions. Let's get started and look inside the physics of motion. Go take a look!
