You'll probably say "Is this the best he could come up with?"   Of course not!  Consider it a "work in progress" from a "real piece of work"!

"It aims to explain explicitly in details how the conceptual meaning of Special Relativity theory can be powerfully extracted from our usual intuition of Euclidean geometry, with little calculation but nevertheless a real and efficient understanding to facilitate then the learning of further relativistic theoretical physics.
It is particularly addressed to those who, instead of seeking to just handle relativistic properties by getting used to them in a computational way and then wait until they get really familiar, to finally grasp its meaning and go further, want to make the effort necessary to really understand them more quickly and deeply like theorician physicists do, according with the mathematical terms in which this theory really appears as soon as one goes a little further in mathematical physics."

unlike Berkeley's main EH&S site, this one is fully open and accessible in keeping with the principle that safety knowledge should be shared freely. Covers both ionizing radiation and nonionizing radiation, including laser, safety. I met Dewey Sprague, UCB's Laser Safety Officer, at the recent CCEHSA conference and was totally impressed with his presentation, his dedication, and his wide scope of safety and organizational expertise.

"The Modeling Method of High School Physics Instruction has been under development at Arizona State University for more than a decade under the leadership of David Hestenes, Professor of Physics. The program cultivates physics teachers as school experts on the use of technology in science teaching, thereby providing schools and school districts with a valuable resource for broader reform. Although infusion of technology into the classroom is a key component of this program, it is secondary to pedagogical reform. The project goals are fully aligned with the National Science Education Standards. The Modeling Method corrects many weaknesses of the traditional lecture-demonstration method, including fragmentation of knowledge, student passivity, and persistence of naive beliefs about the physical world. Unlike the traditional approach, in which students wade through an endless stream of seemingly unrelated topics, the Modeling Method organizes the course around a small number of scientific models, thus making the course coherent."

Nur auf deutsch bestellt, aber hier findet man ausgezeichneten und  nützliche Informationen für interessante Versuche und unkonventionelle elektrikalische Experimente mit  theoretischen Erklärungen. Seriously, folks, these "two guys from Stockerau [Austria]" have put together a really fine -- and colorful -- site with pictures,  videos, and explanations of physics demos and lots more. Even if your German is rustier than mine, you'll find this site is worth scoping out!

BrowseArtifacts.po-catcode=97&browsecat=1 cool chem stuff

A free and open resource for faculty and students in higher education, MERLOT is the product of a consortium of (mostly) public institutions of higher education [including CCC's and CSU] with divisions devoted to biology, business, chemistry, engineering, health science, history, information technology, mathematics, music, physics, psychology, and teacher education.

lots of goodies here including links to physics demos

http://demoroom.physics.ncsu.edu/

with their Top 50 demos and lots of other goodies!

http://www.ph.utexas.edu/~phy-demo/

Very brief procedure descriptions with photos and/or diagrams of a very large and well-organized selection of physics demos. Lots of links to similar sites at other schools.

http://www.av8n.com/physics/00index.html

written mainly to answer questions that came up on PHYS-L, the Forum for Physics Educators.
there's much information here of great use to chemistry educators too

http://hypertextbook.com/facts/

a useful hypertext

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html

An exploration of physics concepts laid out in several hundred small "cards" interconnected by thousands of links. There's also a link to HyperMath.

small flexible Java applets designed for science education.
Contains tutorials, download instructions, and example problems to help you use Physlets in your teaching.

http://www.falstad.com/mathphysics.html

waves, acoustics, electromagnetics, quantum mechanics, links

http://members.aol.com/physicsfirst/index.html

has useful links. Apparently devoted to promoting the introduction of physics into the high school curriculum before biology and chemistry. Or, in the jargon of eduspeak, PBC (or PCB) rather than the traditional BCP.

illustrated setups for 200 demos in mechanics, fluid mechanics, oscillations and waves, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, optics, modern physics, and astronomy

http://particleadventure.org/particleadventure/

an interactive tour of quarks, neutrinos, antimatter, and much more. And as you can see, it's available in Spanish, French, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, and Slovene!

http://www.secondlaw.com/  and its offspring sites

http://www.2ndlaw.com/   and

http://www.entropysimple.com

these sites are intended to correct the common misconceptions about the precise meaning of the word "entropy" and do this by explaining clearly what it is and is not. You'll gain a new appreciation of entropy itself and the role of activation energy in everything important to us.
