Links

Below you will find a list of links that I think you will find either helpful, or just plain interesting. If you would like to suggest a link of your own (or if you would like me to add a link to your own website) please let me know. I will review the suggested site, and if appropriate, will happily add it. If you find a link to be outdated, please let me know.

High School of American Studies at Lehman College: Well, of course I have a link to the school's website!
Regents Exams: This is the official site of the New York State Education Department. It contains copies (in pdf format) of past Physics Regents Exams. The archives give you past exams from as far back as 1997. You can also print out a copy of the Reference Table (in pdf format).
How Stuff Works: This a great site to visit to find out "How Stuff Works". It tends to keep most things simple enough to understand (at least all of you will find most articles reasonable), but at the same time not so simple that it won't give you anything useful to learn.
Physics Demonstrations from the University of Maryland: This site has many little video clips of physics demonstrations, along with many interesting questions. Check out the question of the week first. With many of the pictures you can click on them to download and view the video clip. You may also wish to explore the site fully, since it offers a lot of information other than the excellent video clips and questions.
Super Slow Motion Video Clips: Check out these super slow motion video clips using extremely high speed cameras of things that happen to fast to see, like a water filled balloon exploding. The quality is not great. If you find better ones online, I would love to know.
Brain Bashers: Here you will find many optical illusions, puzzles, and other fun stuff.
ScienceZine: This is an interesting site. It has lots of optical illusions and puzzles, and also has pretty interesting articles on science and non-science stuff.
Science Joy Wagon: This site has absolutely fantastic simulations and movies demonstrating physics principles. Click on Physics Zone first. The site has a lot of good information and reviews in addition to the movies.
