Physics resources

Physics is the science of matter and energy. It includes everything from bouncing billiard balls to the colors of the rainbow, heat, sound, and subatomic particles. The sites in this webliography cover a wide range of levels, and many include practice problems as well. I have noted sites that require Java applets or PDF/Adobe Acrobat.

• You Be the Astrophysicist A readable walk-through of several astrophysical problems with step by step suggestions for solving them.
• Center for the History of Physics Home Page Long and readable articles on famous physicists, discoveries, and laboratories are in the list marked "Exhibits." For additional exhibits, just click "More." This site also includes papers of famous physicists which require a fair amount of technical sophistication and determination.
• Fusion Energy Educational Web Site Fusion, what happens when two hydrogen atoms fuse to become helium. This form of clean nuclear energy powers the stars. The Fusion Energy Educational Web Site features a glossary, FAQ, talking points for debaters, and even lecture slides.
