Print

Middle School Physical Science Resource Center
Provides teachers with tools such as textbook reviews and essays to be more effective and critical educators.

Physical Science Research Center  
This site is produced by the AAPT to "provide teachere resources for a spectrum of learners." Check out the Toy of Month activities.

Physics and Astronomy Pathway
Through a partnership of authors and organizations ComPADRE acts as a steward for the educational resources used by broad communities in physics and astronomy by creating and sustaining a network of collections that provide learning resources and interactive learning environments. ComPADRE resources positively influence physics and astronomy students and their teachers in both individual and collaborative settings.

Engineering Pathway  
The Engineering Pathway is a portal to high-quality teaching and learning resources in engineering, applied science and math, computer science/information technology, and engineering technology and is designed for use by K-12 and university educators and students.

NASA
NASA's site has tons of information for research as well as a section dedicated to education:

NASA's Kids Science News Network
NASA Sci Files
NASA Connect
NASA's Destination Tomorrow

Morehead Planetarium and Science Center
Located in Chapel Hill, the web site provides numerous astronomy and education resources.

Astromical Society of the Pacific
Various education programs and links to grant support programs.

Image Processing Resources for Astronomy Teachers
A list of imaging software and curriculum activities for image processing as well as remote access telescopes.

Physics Education Technology (PhET)
produces fun, interactive simulations of physical phenomena. More than 35 simulations let students experiment with circuits, string tension, kinetic & potential energy, radios waves & electromagnetic fields, balloons & static electricity, ideal gas & buoyancy, velocity & acceleration, sound waves & the Doppler effect, & more.

Amusement Park Physics
Explore the physics behind the most popular rides and build your own rollercoaster.

Electricity
This site is about electricity, electronics, electromagnetism and electrochemistry patents, inventors, inventions and discoveries. It’s divided into phenomena, theories, components, devices, inventions, inventors and Nobel Prize winners (contributions to electro sciences).

Engineering Interact
Online interactive activities in sound, light, electricity and more.
