Here are some sites that might be of help if you are absent, or if you just need a bit more guidance. (Please feel free to contribute to the list if you find something useful to you.....just let me know and I will add it to the "Student to Student" page so others can benefit from your search efforts!) ...and don't forget the more specific "Special Tutorials" site...
Tried and true tutorial sites:Conceptual Physics: Hewitt's site is excellent for concepts. I highly recommend this site as a source to be used frequently. If can make an enormous difference!
The Physics Classroom: Ths site covers all levels of Physics. It has some great interactive tutorials, annimationas, and problems (with answers!). Feel free to browse and see what you can find that works for you. Calculator Pad: The Physics Classroom: This site has problem sets on many of the topics covered in Physics. It offers not only the advantage of having the answer only a click away but also giving you the option of an audio guided solution, PhET- A collection of online physics simulations, some of which are used in class. Explore and have fun! Visual Physics:Great simulations for Physics. Take a look.... Zona Land: Zona Land Education descrbes itself as a place where " ... you will find educational and entertaining items pertaining to physics, to the mathematical sciences, and to mathematics in general." I hardily agree! Hyperphysics: Hosted by the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Georgia state University, this site is excellent for those who want something a bit differen. A site that will give you the option of going as deep or as shallow as you want to go. It is good for all levels of Physics. Derrick Owens and Kahn Academy: Great videos that cover both concepts and problems solving in physics. It is very interactive. Just remember , if it doesn't suit your needs, hit the close button and go your merry way! Physics Lab: This site is a great one for any help you need with homework, concepts, labs, etc MathCentre: This is a Uk based site and offers both video introduction lectures as well as printed resource materials. |
A few "bit more specific" sites:Physics 2000 : Good information on Phyhsics concepts from the University of Colorado. This site relies on interactive "applets". The focus is on Electromagnetic Theory and Quantum Mechanics. However, it is a site worth a look even if all you do is play with the "applets"!
Physics Central: This is a web site of Physics in everyday life (Physics at home). You can learn about "Diamond planets" (which have to be a girl's best friend, eh what?!)...and then there is " Electronic Tatoos" and "The Physics of Baseball"ot to mention "How do you catch an earthquake", etc. (P.S. The English teachers are going tohave a field day with the puctuation in tis paragraph.. Oh well....) Website from the Physicist Richard Feynman : This is for you adventurous ones. Radiation Physics Useful Links for you medical types History of x-rays - Nobel prize web site Medical Encyclopedia - Good definitions of terms Introduction to Radiographic Testing- Good tutorial on radiation Diagnostic x-ray tube- What makes an x-ray tube? The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists- Web site for Radiologic Technologists A few of my favorite annimation sites: Physlets |
