5 Steps to a 5 AP Physics 1
A great short and sweet resource for preparing for the AP test! And it's pretty cheap! -
Higgs Hunters
Help CERN verify the Higgs Boson's existence and be a part of advancing our knowledge of particle physics! For realz! You get to play a part of real world scientific research, in a simple way as you help CERN better the computer algorithm that identifies particle creation in the LHC. -
EBSCOhost Web
Search tons of research databases on the web! This makes finding reliable, scientific sources MUCH easier. -
Mr. Chapman's Physics Blog (MetroTech)
Mr. Chapman is the physics teacher at Metrotech and has a really good blog where he posts what his classes are doing, notes, and helpful sites. We are covering things a little differently and in a different order, but there is still a TON of useful information to be found here. -
EBSCO- Discover Magazine
Through EBSCO, you can have access to free issues of Discover Magazine. It is personally my favorite science magazine and subscriptions aren't cheap, so this is a great resource! The articles are always very interesting and well-written! -
NPR Science Friday
This is my favorite radio show of all time! The host, Ira Flatow, interviews scientists, doctors, artists, and musicians about a wide range of science topics. There is something for everyone here! And the vast majority of the episodes are very easy to understand- you don't need to be a science whiz to enjoy this. Check out their video picks of the week for fun extras! -
Khan Academy- Computer Programming
I have yet to watch these videos myself, but I have heard they are great for learning the basics of computer programming. They even have projects with each section you can try! -
GPB Education- Physics and Chemistry
This website is run by Georgia Public Broadcasting and could be a great resource if you need another resource to understand difficult concepts. -
Gravity Visualized
A great demo to illustrate how gravity works using spandex and masses -
Physics Classroom
This site has helpful tutorials, readings, and practice problems for all physics concepts. Go here if you want more depth and practice -
Phet Interactive Simulations
Having trouble wraping your head around a concept or not getting the point of a lab? Go here for interactive simulations of labs. They are pretty fun to explore and play around with for fun too! -
Khan Academy- Physics
This site has really helpful screencasts on almost any topic you can imagine. They are short, to the point, and easy to understand. Watch a screen cast or two when you get stuck on a concept!
