Eventually this page will be organized according to the courses you see at the left. Currently I only had time to give a couple of links that you may find useful when writing up the lab reports. If you have questions or know of some cool link you think should be added, contact your instructor.

Science Resources

• Graphing Motion - This activity was created as part of a workshop sponsored by NSF with Joliet Junior College and Lee Community College. It is a work in progress. I look forward to expanding the effort and including these activities in the Wisconsin Online Learning Objects.
• Explore Learning ( http://www.explorelearning.com ) - This is a source of several on line lab activities. It requires you to download ShockwaveŽ.
• The Why Files ( http://whyfiles.news.wisc.edu  ) - Great Stuff ! The science behind current events.
• The Science Learning Network ( http://www.sln.org/resources/  ) - You have to see for yourself ! You can get info on all kinds of science topics by visiting museums.
• About ... Physics ( http://physics.about.com/mbody.htm ) A resource of links and articles related to physics.
• Ask Jeeves ( http://www.ask.com/  ) As the Web's Premier answerer of questions (if he may be so bold), Jeeves can answer questions that are hard or easy, small or large, deadly serious or goofily offbeat.  On subjects of every kind.  Ask, and Jeeves shall respond.
• How Stuff Works ( http://www.howstuffworks.com/  ) Have you ever wondered how the engine in your car works or what makes the inside of your refrigerator cold?  Then How Stuff Works is the place for you!
• Duracell Fun Learning ( http://www.duracell.com/ask_us/faq.asp ) General information about batteries.
• Popular Science Magazine ( http://www.popsci.com/  ) The official web site of Popular Science Magazine.
• AAPT ( http://www.aapt.org/ ) American Association of Physics Teachers
• Wheatstone Bridge ( http://www.dwiarda.com/scientific/Bridge.html ) This site is used by the Science Principles for Transportation class for the Resistance Lab.
• Physics of Racing (http://www.miata.net/sport/Physics/) -  These articles were written by Brian Beckman (brianbec@microsoft.com) physicist, and member of No Bucks Racing Club.
• Why Planes Don't Fly ( http://physics.about.com/library/weekly/aa041401a.htm ) An article describing the physics of flight and links to several others.
• Torque and Horsepower ( http://www.govictory.com/DiggerJr/Intro.html )
  Ready to learn how much HORSEPOWER an engine makes?
• How Things Work ( http://howthingswork.virginia.edu/book.html )  This sight contains selections from the book, How Things Work by Louis Bloomfield. The book attempts to convey an understanding and appreciation for the concepts and principles of Physics by finding them within specific objects of everyday experience.
