DESCRIPTION
Teachers can use the Physics Central site as a trusted resource for natural science and physics-based lessons, especially on force, sound, motion and more.
The site has various sections: Explore the science, Ask & Experiment and Physics buzz.
There are many experiments that students can do at home and many activities for students and teachers with different difficulties. There are also activities for the little ones with books that can be downloaded and that are used to introduce physics and some scientists to the little students, in this way teachers can choose the path for students to take based on their level.
COMMENTS
The Library includes activities, articles, home experiments, , educator guides, ideas, images, interactive activities, lessons, maps, media, photos, unit studies, and videos.
Physics Central runs programs for all ages with the goal of making physics fun and interesting for everyone.
TEACHERS’ COMMENT
This website is great for student resources. This website is particularly suitable for students because it has many sections in which natural phenomena are explained through physical laws and this allows you to fascinate young students because it allows you to apply laws that, at times seem abstract, to all of reality.
There is also a section for students in which physical concepts are explained through comics, which are viewable and downloadable. This certainly capturing the interest of students through images and familiar language allows children to get closer to science. Each comic also contains a guide for the teacher which summarizes the keywords used and the main physical concepts involved and a guide for students with some activities.
