The Yohkoh Public Outreach Project provides images, movies, and tours depicting our nearest star, the Sun. Content includes a wealth of information, learning activities, and much more.

This site features numerous interactive resources (such as simulations, interactive exercises, experiments, etc.) designed for teachers and students of the physical sciences. Some of the resources are available only on CD-ROM, but most...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The concept of electromagnetism and its uses are explained, and the right hand rule for finding the direction of a magnetic field is demonstrated.

A collection of experiments, projects, and articles that will help students understand particle collision and mass, kinetic energy, magnetic field, the Large Hadron Collider, and detection of the Higgs particle.

Lenz's Law is defined and demonstrated with an interactive Java applet that shows the relationship between field lines of a magnetic and a conductor ring.

This lesson will show how a particle can travel in a wave form, by following perpendicular electric and magnetic fields. It is 2 of 4 in the series titled "Electromagnetic Waves."

Play hockey with electric charges. Place charges on the ice, then hit start to try to get the puck in the goal. View the electric field. Trace the puck's motion. Make the game harder by placing walls in front of the goal. This is a clone...

Students will learn about bone structure, bone development and growth, and bone functions. Later, students will apply this understanding to answer the Challenge Question presented in the "Fix the Hip" lesson and use the acquired learning...

Explains what a magnetic compass is and how it works.

World Book Encyclopedia article, hosted by NASA, covers key details about the sun, incuding size, composition, radiations, rotation, vibration, magnetic fields, zones of the sun, solar wind, sun spots, and related topics.

This site from the Georgia State University provides a good introduction to and illustration of the Meissner Effect, the property of a superconducting material whereby it actively excludes a magnetic field from within its interior.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Lenz's law is explained and demonstrated. It states that a magnetic field is produced in opposition to an induced current.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Discover how scientists learn about Earth's interior using seismic waves, meteorites, density, and the magnetic field. Additional resources are available for download.

An atom smasher, or particle accelerator, collides atomic nuclei together at extremely high energies, using engineering that exploits incredibly cold temperatures, very low air pressure, and hyperbolically fast speeds. Don Lincoln...

Put together a planet's atmosphere and a magnetic field and auroras will likely be found. Recognize why these occur and where to find them.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Provides the definition of an electromagnetic wave, electromagnetic radiation, and electric and magnetic fields. Also discusses how electromagnetic waves begin,...

This Imagine the Universe site provides an introduction into the multiwavelength universe and astronomy. Site provides graphics, links to a quiz, facts on this topic as well as teacher resources.

Link to nine major physics topics and dig deeper into the content. Find out about the work of scientists in each field and see example physical science experiments.

This ScienceWorld site describes the Scottish mathematician and physicist James Maxwell (1831-1879) who published physical and mathematical theories of the electromagnetic field.

We rely on the sun to sustain life, but there are many things about the sun that the human eye is unable to detect. This media rich site offers a spectacular look at coronal mass ejections, magnetic loops, and solar flares. Interactive...

The Earth's magnetosphere helps shield us from cosmic and solar radiation. This segment offers a great explanation of this abstract concept along with numerous images and diagrams. An interactive game is provided as well.
