Physics
This website has a wide variety of information on a wide variety of Physics topics. There are videos, tutorials, images, and more.
This website is a must-have for any Physics teacher! The site has interactive multimedia about a vast array of Physics topics, a calculator pad, in-depth descriptions of many topics, over 150 lab possibilities, and more!
This is a Prezi (a kind of 3D PowerPoint Presentation) about Energy. It was created to go along with a lecture about Energy, in a Physics class. Just push the "next" button to go to the next step in the presentation.
This is a Prezi (a kind of 3D presentation) that was created by Jennifer Palmertree. It covers the topic of forces and motion in two deminsions. It was meant to go along with a lecture on that topic, in a Physics class. Just push the "next" button to go to the next step in the presentation.
This is a Prezi (a kind of 3D presentation) that was created by Jennifer Palmertree. It covers the topics of energy, work, and simple machines. It was meant to go along with a lecture on that topic, in a Physics class. Just push the "next" button to move to the next step in the presentation.
This is a game based on the old atari-style games of ball-in-the-maze. However, there is one big difference - this game follows actual laws of physics! It can be pretty difficult, but it is very interesting to see just how physics-defying these games tend to be!
This is a very cool video game based on nano-science. There is some very interesting information about the topic throughout the game. The most interesting point about this game is the fact that it is made to be more like the (brainless) video games that teenagers love (kind of similar to "Tomb Raider").
This website has so much to choose from, it is hard to describe it here! The website covers a HUGE variety of Physics topics, but the best part is that it was made by students for students! The "Mind on Physics" section is a really cool Shockwave tutorial.
Have you ever noticed that cartoons seem to have Physics laws that are not of this planet? The people who made this activity did! This activity uses cartoons to help students identify examples of Physics laws being broken. This activity covers multiple Physics topics.
Astronomy
This is a program that requires download and installation, but it is just too cool not to include here! This program is a planetarium for your computer! It shows thousands of stars, constellations, and more!
This website offers a vast array of resources that could be used in the study of Astronomy. There are videos and animations, encyclopedia-style articles on a multitude of subjects, games, activities, and more! The website is free to use, and offers teachers the ability to create a free account, in order to create tailored lessons.
This is the official website for NASA. It offers news about a variety of atmosphere/space related subjects, as well as multimedia and information.

This is a program created by Jennifer Palmertree, based on the popular game show Who Wants to be a Millionaire? The program has nine questions that build up to a "One Hundred." Currently, the questions all have to do with astronomy, but I will be including instructions on how to change the questions and images to fit any subject.
This is the website for the HUBBLE telescope. It has videos, information, games, etc. There is a VERY interesting activity about black holes, where a person can "go to" a black hole and orbit around it.
This is a website created by NASA to educate about the solar system. There is some useful information, interesting images, and helpful videos. The best part of this website is the variety of interactive activities that are available.
This is a cool little interactive activity that shows the path of Mars across our sky, in reference to its position during Earth's and Mars' rotation.
This is an animation that shows where the planets would be if they were scaled down to the size of the United States.
This is an interactive simulation that shows the path of the Sun across our sky at different times of the year.
This is a simulation tool that can generate images of what you would see if you were standing at different places in the solar system, at different times.
This is a list of interactive demonstrations that show avariety of Astronomy subjects, such as Kepler's Laws and the creation of planets.
This is a very cool interactive "tour" of the solar system - where you are in control of where you go. It's made the same way that video games are made, so it has that video-game kind of feel to it, but it takes you where you want to go in the solar system, and gives
