Science/Physics/Education is for EDUCATIONAL web sites of interest to educators, parents, students and professionals emphasizing the teaching or learning of various aspects of physics or physical science. The best sites will try to teach or instruct about physics or physical science, though clear, easy-to-follow explanations of topics are useful as well.
There are both a Science/Chemistry/Education and a Science/Biology/Education category here at ODP, and they may be more appropriate for some site submissions.
This category is not for software or selling of products.

Video clips and lectures about cosmology, particle physics, relativity and quantum mechanics presented by string theorist, Brian Greene. Requires free registration.
Various explorations of sound, sound detection and sound measurement. Includes a section on physics of sound.
Site dedicated to helping teachers with lessons in physics and astrophysics by giving computer activities that help show how physical models work.
This page describes the errors seen most frequently in undergraduate mathematics, the likely causes of those errors, and their remedies. Avoid these errors in order to improve in any math-intensive course, including physics.
A project to create well organized, digital collections of high quality educational materials in physics and astronomy. ComPADRE consists of focused collections of materials for specific courses or serving specific constituencies, with connections to a wide range of online digital resources including curricular materials, digital libraries, and online journals, user communities that participate in the development and operation of these collections.
A non-profit organization of teachers, educators, and physicists; at Lawrence Berkeley Lab.
The values of the fundamental physical constants provided at this site are recommended for international use by CODATA and are the latest available.
Worldwide competition in physics for grammar school (under age 19) students with an interest in physics.
Physics-related word-problem puzzles.
Shows how man determined the structure of the atom and learned how atoms interacted with each other.
A service providing answers to questions about physics, science, and how things in the world around us work. Companion to the book by Louis Bloomfield called How Things Work.
A concept map of physics showing relationships between topics while giving explanations and references.
Regional and international physics olympiads. Information, mailing lists, and links to all the IPhO problems available on the web.
Reviews and rates Hollywood movies for bad physics content.
Articles, essays, and problems designed for students to learn more about the importance of math in the study and application of physics.
Peer-reviewed online teaching and learning materials for physics.
Since the laboratory experience is of critical importance in the process of enhancing students' cognitive and affective understanding of science, the National Science Teachers Association makes the following recommendations.
The OSP project seeks to create and distribute curricular material for physics computation and physics education at all levels.
Provides physics animations, learning and reference tools for students and resources for teachers. The level is approximately that of introductory university or advanced high school.
This site has plenty of resources for physics and physical science teachers K-16.
Comics-style lessons in physics fundamentals. Topics include motion, forces, vectors, work and energy, and impulse and momentum.
This site provides exhaustive, comprehensive, carefully selected and structured lists on Internet physics resources.
Provides simple explanations for a number of physics, space and maths concepts, trying to break them down into stuff that actually makes sense.
Provides an easy to use online physics textbook including laws, tables, experiments, a quiz and videos.
A collection mostly of University of Toronto physics professor David M. Harrison's various presentations and course materials.
Pages to help increase awareness about the value of physics and to lend support to high school physics students, teachers, and parents.
Biographical, educational, and scholarly. Also includes a bit of fun (did you know he was on The Simpsons TV show?)
A collection of information and resources for teachers of quantum physics.
Provides a number of Flash animations to supplement handbooks in physics, maths and technology.
Science, non-science and pseudoscience: a set of lessons to teach students to define and differentiate the three.
This physics online ebook covers basic physics from Newton's laws to electricity and magnetism. Lots of applets and animation included.
Summary of science projects by Stan Pozmantir, a junior secondary student. Easy-to-build and inexpensive electric motors utilizing many physics principles.
Complete set of information for members of any level of SPS. Scholarships and awards, news, activities, staff, structure, online forms, student resources, and links to significant physics sites.
Physicists have demonstrated the first acoustic solitary waves in air--waves that can travel long distances without changing shape.
Scientific explanation of the phenomenon of static electricity.
Descriptions and photographs of electrostatics, electron bombardment and wave experiments done with home equipment.
Includes an introduction to the project and its conferences, related papers and links, and some Java applets.
A one-year curriculum for high-school physics. It is the result of a materials-development project supported by the National Science Foundation, and its design was guided by educational research findings.
