This site includes simple definitions of physics terminology and a game to demonstrate momentum. It has a good array of mathematical content useful for students in or out of class. It could be useful for student review or supplemental material. Be sure to link this site to your class web page or bookmark on a classroom computer for easy access.Trebuchet.com
Grades
6 to 12tag(s): medieval (33)
In the Classroom
Share this site on the interactive whiteboard or projector to introduce a unit or lesson on the physics of throwing machines. Use this site to provide a historic example of their many uses. Teachers can focus simply on the history of mechanics of the machinery OR can have students attempt to create their own based on the directions and resources provided. This would be a great resource for either a History or Physics classroom.Skateboard Science - The Exploratorium
Grades
6 to 12In the Classroom
Share this site with students who like to skateboard to extend their knowledge about the dynamics of how the tricks work (and learn to relate force and motion in real life). Ask these students to share what they learned about their favorite trick with their peers by creating an annotated, narrated image (including text boxes and related links) using a tool such as Google Drawings, reviewed here. Google Drawings allows you to annotate an image with links to videos, text, websites, and more. Not familiar with Google Drawings? Watch an archived OK2Ask session to learn how to use: OK2Ask Google Drawings, here. The subject matter should make the hard work fun as it is all about the physics of the skateboarder and his board!The Physics Classroom, Glenbrook, IL

In the Classroom
Introduce this site on your interactive whiteboard or projector. Then have students explore this site independently or in small groups. This site covers almost everything in basic physics, and would be an excellent site for students to use while reviewing for a quiz or test. Design a worksheet for students to fill out that accompanies the site, or use the site as a learning center or station.Fusion and Plasma Physics - Princetom Plasma Lab
Grades
9 to 12tag(s): nuclear energy (20)
In the Classroom
Use the animated Video "What is Fusion" in your flipped or blended classroom. Have students use a tool like YiNote, reviewed here. YiNote is a Chrome extension for taking notes online on the video while watching it. You may want to use the same strategy when students use the Virtual Tokamak, or you could ask them to create blogs sharing their learning and understanding using Telegra.ph, reviewed here. With Telegra.ph you just click on an icon to upload images from your computer, add a YouTube or Vimeo, or X (formerly Twitter) links. This blog creator requires no registration.A Century of Physics - American Physical Society
