ICP Phys webquest: math review and physics quiz
The Nature of Physics
One more good physics link. It's about... how things work!
Physics for beginners
Physics, the neglected science explains why you should take physics and has a good quiz.
Skateboard physics and others
Mr. Fizzix's website - looks interesting, but I haven't explored it much - tell me what you think.
Necessary Mathematics
Check out Megaconverter.com for the EASY way to do conversions. Too bad I don't let you use a computer on the test, huh?
Math and physics homework help
Motion and Vectors (velocity, acceleration, etc)
Motion Flash animations
Mr. Fizzix has a FANTASTIC page with simulations. I especially like the distance and displacement one.
Vectors and direction
IUPUI's webphysics vectors page This is from some of my former professors. You'll find it helpful.

This site looks promising, but I haven't looked at it much. Let me know what you think of it if you check it out.
Light and Optics
Great game with lenses and mirrors! Let me know how far you get with this one.
Electricity
Modern Physics
The Center for the History of Physics has several online exhibits that you might find interesting.
When will we ever need to know this?!This site (called "Careers using Physics") explains what you could do with a physics degree and how everyday people use physics.
Physics Phunnies
Cartoon Laws of Physics
Bad Movie Physics (Funny)
Non-physics Science Stuff
Play Black Box ONLINE! This is a little different from what we did in class, but if you read the instructions, you'll see how they are related. Be careful, it's addictive.
Snow crystals (grow your own)
The Science of Good and Evil
Current extra credit
Research and post an explanation on my guestbook of Einstein's General Relativity and how it was first confirmed. Your explanation must be 5 sentences or more and IN YOUR OWN WORDS!! For your research, start at the history of physics page (see link above under modern physics). Click on the "Exhibit Hall" drop down box and choose "Einstein: Image and Impact". Then click on "The Great Works". Click through until you get to "The Great Works II". Read this along with "World Fame I" and particularly the links called "photographed" and "click here to see a gravitational lens". This will require a bit of reading, but the pictures and text should help you to understand it. This will be due on Sunday March 12, 2006 by 11:59 pm.
