Trek. Physics. Tracker Video Analysis and Modeling Tool for Physics Education. CERNLand brings the excitement of CERN's research to your kids! Science Support. Welcome to the Health Physics Society (HPS) Teachers web page, where you can request a speaker or information about radiation or a radiation safety topic to help you in the classroom, learn more about radiation and radiation safety topics, and find lesson plans and classroom activities about radiation science.
We have organized and categorized the resources available to you in the following expandable table of contents. Links in the table of contents will take you to a brief description of the resource and will link you directly to the resource. Please continue to check back as we expand this site with additional materials. Toolbox for Teachers Internet Resources to Assist Teachers in Learning and Teaching Radiation Science Note that the Internet links included here are restricted in terms of the intended applications.

US NSF - News - Science of the Olympic Winter Games. Science of the Olympic Winter Games 2010 NBC Learn, the educational arm of NBC News, has teamed up with the National Science Foundation (NSF) to produce Science of the Olympic Winter Games, a 16-part video series that explores the science behind individual Olympic events, including Downhill and Aerial Skiing, Speed Skating and Figure Skating, Curling and Hockey, and Ski Jumping, Bobsledding and Snowboarding.
This groundbreaking project between the NSF and NBC Learn uses the global spotlight of the Olympics to make science more accessible and more interesting to students by showing how science helps athletes fulfill the Olympic motto: Citius, Altius, Fortius--Swifter, Higher, Stronger. Read more about the "Science of the Olympic Winter Games.
" Each video is complemented with lesson plans which include fun classroom activities. The lesson plans were written by teachers at Academic Business Consultants for grades 6-9 and are aligned with California State Standards. View video (4:00 min.) Stopping Distances : Pedestrian Injury Simulator. Teacher: Online Activities: Science Explorations: Journey Into Space. Star Size Comparison HD. First Flight. E.ON UK - Energy Experience - Energy. The E.ON Energy Experience The E.ON Energy Experience has been created to help teachers to teach young people about energy.
The resources will help young people to understand about the different sources of energy we use, the relative merits of each, the options for energy production going forward and what their choices will mean locally, nationally and globally. Young people aged 5-16 will be given the essential facts and figures. But more importantly, will be allowed to make virtual decisions about all stages of energy production, distribution and consumption and see the different effects of those decisions. E.ON has worked closely with the education community to ensure that the programme offers an exciting interactive resource. The E.ON Energy Experience activities require the free Macromedia Flash Player 8 or above. Main navigation. PEEP Physics Ethics Education Project: Teaching controversial and social issues in science / physics.
Girls in physics. Girls are under-represented in physics post-16 across the UK.
For more than 25 years, only around 20% of students progressing on to A-level physics have been girls, despite about equal success between the genders in GCSE physics and science. The issue is one that the Institute has been seeking to understand and address for a number of years, both by supporting research and helping individual teachers of physics become aware of the issues and amend their classroom practice. Research has shown that: Students’ interest in science declines as they progress through school and the decline appears to become steeper after age 14, particularly for girls and particularly in physics.Girls, more than boys, experience a difference between their personal goals for learning and the learning objectives of the physics curriculum. As a consequence they are less inclined to opt for physics, even if they achieve high grades and enjoy the subject. Books for Hubble and Webb. Soar through the universe with the Hubble Space Telescope, exploring some of its most significant discoveries – from dark energy to colliding galaxies.
Descend to Earth, where Hubble's successor, the James Webb Space Telescope, readies for the future of astronomy. Image galleries, video, and interactives bring home the telescopes' science and engineering in this pair of free books available through the iBooks® app on the iPad. Hubble Space Telescope: Discoveries Free Downloads: Behind the Hubble Space Telescope's stunning images of the cosmos lies a record of scientific breakthroughs. Webb Space Telescope: Science Guide Hubble's successor, the Webb Space Telescope, will reveal a cosmos hidden from us, showing the first stars flickering to life in the distant universe and the dust-obscured surprises within our own galaxy. Trek. Education. Practical Physics. This website is for teachers of physics in schools and colleges.
It is a collection of experiments that demonstrate a wide range of physical concepts and processes. Some of the experiments can be used as starting-points for investigations or for enhancement activities. Many have links to carefully selected further reading and all include information and guidance for technicians. Physics is a practical science. Practical activities are not just motivational and fun: they can also sharpen students’ powers of observation, stimulate questions, and help develop new understanding and vocabulary.
