Links

Links go to places not curated by Mr. S. We will use them in class, or you may find them helpful in your studies. I have also included links to podcasts and YouTube videos that may be interesting/helpful as well.

PhysicsClassroom.com

A great place to find tutorials about general physics topics. If you’ve forgotten your textbook and need some physics help, this is the first place to check!




Finally, John and Hank have teamed up with Dr. Shini Somara to produce the Crash Course Physics videos! You've probably used their other series in other classes. They do a pretty good job of summarizing a lot of the concepts we'll cover.



From the University Of Colorado comes this PhET simulation of almost everything we can do with the Snap Circuit Kits in class. If you're absent while we're dealing with circuits, check this out!

Podcasts and Videos

1–3 minutes about really cool Physics stuff— should you walk or run in the rain, can we touch anything, how a laser works, speed of light in glass, is pink a color.....

Bill Hammack from (U of I) explains how everyday things work—copiers, cell phones, light bulbs, and more.

Michael talks a bit fast, but he explains a lot about things like is yellow really yellow, how hot can it get, if everyone jumped at once what would happen, what color is a mirror, and more.
