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. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=84336 Essential Science for Teachers: Physical Science is one in a series of three video-, print-, and Web-based science courses for elementary school teachers. These courses will help teachers better understand the science concepts that underlie the content they teach. The sessions include a video program addressing a topic area related to matter that is likely to be part of any elementary school science curriculum. Essential Science for Teachers: Physical Science also focuses on the ideas that children bring to the classroom about these topics. Children in a clinical setting are interviewed and observed to uncover their thinking. The research literature shows that their ideas are typical of students in the K-6 age group. Each session also features one or more elementary school classrooms where a teacher and her students explore the topic using exemplary curriculum materials. Physical Science strives to provide participants not only with enhanced content understandings, but also with understandings of how this content connects to the elementary school classroom. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=90202 Java applets to help understanding of some basic physics ideas. Applets deal with simple harmonic motion, wave motion, planetary motion etc. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=594456 This film examines the process of radioactive decay as part of an educational unit on the health effects of ionizing radiation (radioactivity). Educational concepts include radioisotope, radioactive decay, alpha radiation, beta radiation, gamma radiation, x-radiation, decay chain, and half-life. This instructional film is from Kansas State University's web-based course, GENAG 711, Occupational and Agricultural Health. Copyright 2011, Mitch Ricketts.

It is the only non-invasive technology thatcan routinely and quantitatively measure metabolic, biochemical andfunctional activity in living tissue. This site discusses PET scanning in detail. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=91054 This is the beginning of an online course to get to grips with 3D vectors for anyone who wants to learn. Most of the material is about UK A-level difficulty, so if you're studying a maths course involving vectors I hope working through it won't harm your grades:) Also if you're interested in related topics, such as 3D graphics programming or Newtonian mechanics, I hope you'll find something useful or interesting. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=90588 Discussion of basic vector algebra. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=90994 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. Includes projectile motion and forces in two dimensions, as well as a discussion on vectors. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=384179 Learn about the scientific study of the structure of the atom, its energy states, and its interactions with other particles and fields. Provides materials for pre-service teacher trainees.Compulsory Readings for Atomic Physics (PDF)
