The Laws of Energy, Motion and Gravity
Starting with energy, learn how it is created, the types of energy, and how it interacts with the world. Then move on to how energy creates motion, gravity and velocity. This site will walk you through the different properties of energy and how it is used to do work in this world
Thermodynamics
When scientists study thermodynamics, they are really studying heat. Heat can do anything; move from one area to another, get atoms excited, even increase energy. Learn about how energy flows through you and the rest of the planet to make everything go.
Matter
What makes up you and your friends? What makes up this computer screen? How about the air? Matter is what we call of this stuff and at this site you can learn all about it. The types of matter, how some matter can change from a gas to a liquid to solid and what are the basic properties of matter.
Light & Optics
On this site you can learn about how light and matter interact. You will also be introduced to the basic physics of optics, including the creation and use of lasers.
Electricity
You use it everyday, but most of us don’t know how it works. This site teaches all about electricity and how it is created, transmitted, and its properties. If you are learning about electricity, this is the site for you.
Modern Physics
As our science is getting more sophisticated whole new areas of physics have been created. Learn about the latest ideas in nuclear physics (fission & fusion), mechanics and quantum mechanics. Go beyond the classics and enter the modern world.
