Material is organized through extensive concept maps. This item received the 2005 MERLOT Classics Award in Physics because of its comprehensive coverage of most of physics, the creative use of multimedia and linking, and the impact it has had on students worldwide. The Pendulum Lab http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=90323 This is a virtual laboratory where you can do hands-on experiments at rigid pendula. Together with the material presented in the lecture room, you can learn basic issues like harmonic oscillator and resonance but also advanced topics like parametric resonance, nonlinear dynamics, and chaos. Utility comes in downloadable HTML/Java format, complete with all class files. The Semiconductor Applet Service http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=90610 A large list of links to applets and tutorials that discuss the fabrication of semiconductors. Each link is also listed in MERLOT separately. BrainPop Health, Science, Technology Animation for Kids http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=88436 A collection of movies (which often contain online quizzes) about a large number of technical subjects, including physics, chemistry, and engineering. Most appear to use Shockwave.PLEASE NOTE: There is now a charge for using this material. The Ohm Zone http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=91221 The Ohm Zone's Shockwave application that allows you to build your own DC circuits and measure the voltages and resistances simultaneously. Optics Bench Physlet http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=90527 Applet simulates an optical bench, including lenses, mirrors, and aperatures. Particle Adventure http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=90236 Tutorials on fundamentals of nuclear and particle physics. Many foreign language versions available. Center for History of Physics http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=91168 A large resource pertaining to the history of physics, including a newsletter, archives, library, and exhibits. RLC Circuit - Complex Impedance http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=90194 This Macromedia ShockWave applet illustrates visually the complex impedance in RLC series circuits. The users may use sliders to change the circuit paramters. The applets displays the corresponding complex impedance phasor diagram and the current, phaseshift, and impedence versus frequency graphs. Also shown are the time-dependent current-voltage graphs. Also included are brief introductions to both the physics of LRC circuits and the applet itself. Sound Waves and Music http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=90988 This site contains an extensive set of notes on basic topics in physics. There are extensive illustrations and animations along with the text. Also included are self-quizzes, and shockwave quizzes and tutorials.
