Topics include Vectors, 1D Kinematics, 2D Kinematics, Dynamics (Forces), and Work and Energy (under construction). The items are interactive, and provide immediate feedback and a running score, making them suitable for student self-study. A means of recording scores for a homework grade is available from the author. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=284420 The Assessing-to-Learn Physics (A2L) web site contains a library of questions and problems for classroom use. Questions are categorized by topic and level, and goals for the question, explanations of the physics, and (in many cases) a brief discussion of student difficulties with the topic. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=234538 This web page contains a series of animations and simulations related to Faraday's Law. It is part of the MIT TEAL project and includes simulations on topics in E&M, course notes, and a multimedia Guided Tour of the topic.The materials from a full semester course using these simulations is available from the MIT Open Courseware Server (see the Mirror URL).To view a video of the award winning author, go to View Faraday's Law - Physics Award Winner 2007 video http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=86046 This applet simulates some basic experiments in magnetism and magnetic induction. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=80526 This is a hyper-linked exploration of topics in classical mechanics. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=78433 These visualizations are part of the Technology Enabled Active Learning (TEAL) Studio project at MIT. It contains a wide range of visualizations, animations, and simulations of topics in E&M and vector fields, along with notes for an introductory E&M course. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=88088 These Physlets give graphical representations of the wavefunctions of the Hydrogen atom. Available are the radial wavefunctions, angular wavefunctions, and a cross-section of the wavefunctions in the z-x plane.These applets are part of the Modern Physics example Physlets from the book of Christian and Belloni. (Chapter 10, examples 10.2.1 and 10.2.2) http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=80544 This java application simulation shows the position, velocity, and acceleration graphs of a moving person. Motion can be created either by use of a mouse or using pre-programmed motions. More information is available at http://phet.colorado.edu http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=82715 This quantum mechanics simulation shows the behavior of a single particle bound states in one dimension. It solves the Schrodinger equation and displays the time-dependent wavefunctions for a wide range of potentials. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=82716 This quantum mechanics simulation shows the interaction of classical electromagnetic radiation with a particle bound in one dimension. It demonstrates absorption and stimulated emission from an infinite square well, two coupled wells, and a harmonic oscillator.
