Elzbieta Muir
 

Below are the suggestions of the classroom-tested on-line resources free to use by the students in the hysics/Science classes as the simulated LAB, DEMO activities or interactive INFOrmation sites. Please add to this list if you wish to share some of your neat web-sites.

 
Physics 11U, Unit: Motion and Forces
LAB: Newton's Second Law
This simulated lab studies the three aspects of Newton's Second Law using pulley, hanging mass and mass being pulled. Students learn how the pulley system works and analyze the graphs mathematically.
Time: full 75-minute period.
Worksheet: Yes, available at the OAPT conference 2005
 
Physics 12U, Unit: The Wave Nature of Light
DEMO: "Looking for Wave Properties",
The demonstrations examine transverse and longitudinal waves, reflection, transmission, Huygen's Principle and interference.
Time: full 75-minute period
Worksheet: Yes, available at the OAPT conference2005
 
Physics 12U, Unit: Matter-Energy Interface
INFO: Elementary Particles"
Great as a supplement to ISU, this is an award-winning interactive tour of quarks, neutrinos, antimatter, dark matter, extra dimensions, accelerators and particle detectors, developed to commemorate WYP2005. Neat!
Time: full class-time or as homework assignment
Worksheet: No
