Concept 1 and 2: Newton's laws of motion. Force and motion, conservation of momentum
The Physics Classroom is an online, free to use physics website developed primarily for beginning physics students and their teachers. The website features a variety of sections intended to support both teachers and students in the tasks of learning and teaching physics. Links directly to search strings return invalid. Please enter search string directly on website.
PhET Interactive Simulations from the University of Colorado Boulder provides fun, free, interactive, research-based science and mathematics simulations.
Khan Academy Forces and Newton's laws of motion. This tutorial is the meat of much of classical physics. We think about what a force is and how Newton changed the world's (and possibly your) view of how reality works. Newton's Law: WebQuests Force & Motion Interactive Hyperphysics is an exploration environment for concepts in physics which employs concept maps and other linking strategies to facilitate smooth navigation. |
Concept 3: Diagnoser - Teacher and Student Login
At this web site you will find diagnostic instructional tools for middle and high school teachers and students. These tools, which include web-served formative assessments, are aligned with National Standards and Benchmarks in science and mathematics. Resources in this project have been developed and tested by teachers and are based on research into the teaching and learning of math and science.
