Using interactive multimedia resources to teach physics has many benefits:
- it helps pupils understand concepts that are difficult to visualise
- allows students to safely investigate concepts which are beyond the scope of the lab
- provides an effective way to learn - through inquiry leading to deeper understanding
- students find it stimulating and enjoyable - so they are eager to learn more
What does Physics-online.com offer?
Physics-online.com is designed to harness the full potential of the internet to provide teachers with
a wide range of high quality interactive resources.
These resources include our own BETT award winning simulations and a continually growing selection of the best interactive
applets, shockwave movies and video lectures. Physics-online also contains a small number of simulations created with
Interactive Physics - the leading package for physics modelling. Physics-online also offers a easy
method for creating and publishing online courses and lessons.
Who is it appropriate for?
Physics-online contains resources suitable for UK Keystage 4 and A/AS Level, Scottish Higher and Standard, The Irish Leaving Cert and the International Baccalaureate.
It's all about interactivity:
We believe the best way to read about physics is in a good text book so Physics-online doesn't include
many text-only websites. Instead we offer a bank of highly interactive physics applets, shockwave movies and video.
All the resources are indexed and categorised so you can get to what you need in seconds.
What else does it do?
Physics-online offers much more than easy access to online resources.
It allows you to organise useful resources into online lessons activities and courses.
You could use it to create anytime anywhere study courses for students
and you can also use it to publish your department web pages with your news, links and photographs.
Physics-online could benefit your school in many ways:
- With hundreds of great interactive resources on almost all topics in physics it offers a cost effective way to bring compelling demonstrations into your lessons
- Lessons and learning activities created in Physics-online can be accessed anytime and anywhere by your students
- You can create stimulating homework and independent study activities - so your students want to learn more outside class
- Access to physics-online's rich bank of resources will help support non-specialist physics teachers
- Provides access to stimulating learning activities for gifted and talented pupils
