A must-see for any physics teacher! You will find 217 pages of physics activities and worksheets that cover motion, electricity and magnetism, light, modern and quantum physics, and astronomy. Each activity comes with an answer...

Groups discover physics as they take an assigned scenario, perform research about different aspects of the subject matter, and present their findings to the class. From the presentations, learners must develop and support a point of view...

Students discuss the mass-energy relationship based on Einstein's work. They calculate the energy released in various scenerios and sketch diagrams for the Lyman, Balmer and Pfund Series. In groups, they discuss the role of photons and...

Students will discuss the de Brogile Hypothesis and state the circumstances under which the wave nature of matter is observed. They will also calculate the wavelengths of matter waves.

This interactive lesson introduces students to the branch of science known as physics.

This resource is an online exhibit covering Heisenberg's physics, career, personal, and political life.

One great example of quantum physics' weirdness can be shown in the Schrodinger's cat thought experiment. Josh Samani walks us through this experiment in quantum entanglement. [5:24]

By the end of this section, you will be able to describe the definition, aims, and branches of physics; describe and distinguish classical physics from modern physics and describe the importance of relativity, quantum mechanics, and...

A learning module with built-in interactive features where students can explore the fascinating topic of matter tunneling through a barrier. They will learn how electron waves can sometimes manage this, devices that use this concept, and...

In this interactive tutorial students explore special relativity and quantum mechanics. Learn basic tenets of the theory of special relativity and the relationship between mass and energy. Also discover the evidence for the particle...

You've probably heard that carbon dioxide is warming the Earth. But how exactly is it doing it? Lieven Scheire uses a rainbow, a light bulb and a bit of quantum physics to describe the science behind global warming. [5:01]

David Thouless, Duncan Haldane, and Michael Kosterlitz won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2016 for discovering that even microscopic matter at the smallest scale can exhibit macroscopic properties and phases that are topological. Find out...

Austrian physicist Erwin Schrodinger, one of the founders of quantum mechanics, posed this famous question: If you put a cat in a sealed box with a device that has a 50% chance of killing the cat in the next hour, what will be the state...

One of the most amazing facts in physics is that everything in the universe, from light to electrons to atoms, behaves like both a particle and a wave at the same time. But how did physicists arrive at this mind-boggling conclusion? Chad...

This is an understandable tutorial which guides the viewer through the innovations which led up to the verification of Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) in 1995. Follow the "Next," link at the bottom of the page to explore the following...

Students learn about the Newtonian mechanics principle of conservation of angular momentum and the application in the quantum mechanical world.

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that you can never simultaneously know the exact position and the exact speed of an object. Why not? Because everything in the universe behaves like both a particle and a wave at the same time....

Several pages with an interesting discussion of the visible light spectrum and atomic absorption and emission line spectrum. Features excellent graphics, thorough and understandable discussion, and many interactive Java applets.

Visit this site for an interactive tour of the atom and all aspects of particle physics. View the animations available with almost every description on this site. A great place for the fundamentals of particles and forces including a...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students explore how the study of the hydrogen emission spectrum led to the Bohr model of the atom, in which electrons exist in states of constant energy.

Dutch version of the well-known "Particle Adventure" physics website that teaches students about atoms, mass, particle physics, and quantum physics. The site discusses theories related to physics and provides other links related to the...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Features the electron cloud atomic model and atomic orbitals.

This simulation explores the trends observed in orbital energies for the main group elements of atomic orbital energies.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The focus in this learning module will be on the complexity of electron arrangement in atoms.
