Math and Physics Help

by Kumar, K

This is the sight if you're having trouble in physics or just want clear answers in ENGLISH. The site's producer is really bright and works to help kids actually understand physics. He has many writings about how to think like a physicist, he describes how people understand math and they get the physics but they can't connect the two. He writes how you should feel before and after you read each of his writings, which is really helpful. Some of his writings include the whole concept of units and an intro to relativity, all of which are quite interesting. There are great links as well as an awesome question-answer section. You can ask your own question or read answers to old questions. CHECK IT OUT!

This site pretty much sums up the different topics in physics. It talks about energy which is a topic that we have just recently started; electricity, waves, radioactivity, etc... It has many useful physics subtopics to choose from.

WHY FILES??

by Donovan, A

Using this site your able to to find out about the moon, and you also can ask the last person who walked on the moon questions about how it was. This site was very interesting.

Physics 2000

by Kumar, M

This site focuses on a wide range topics in modern physics, while linking them to predictions and discoveries of the past. Its many sections includes areas devoted to Einstein, theoretical or conceptual physics, and an area devoted to quantum and atomic physics. Even though this site relies heavily on visual and explanatory java applets, each topic is also explained with a conversation by two cartoon characters.

Eric Weisstein's World of Physics

by Mondello, A

This site allows you to search for anything related to physics. It is especially helpful in finding formulas for equations and for finding definitions for any physics word you need to define. For example if you typed in momentum the search engine comes up with many different topics related to momentum. It does have many confusing equations but you can ignore those and look at the ones we are familiar with. This is very helpful if you don't have any notes with you and you need information on your topic.
