The Physics Professor's Ultimate Resources

The Physics Professor's Ultimate Resources
http://www.collegeonline.org/library/articles/physics-professor-resources/

Created by the CollegeOnline organization, this website corrals a number of websites together from institutions like the University of California - Irvine, the University of Kentucky, and the University of Utah. First-time visitors can scan through seven different subsections, such as "Geometry/Trigonometry", "Tools", and "Optics". A good place to start is with the "Virtual Labs", as they offer a mélange of websites from physics labs around the country, complete with research summaries, interactive web activities, and so on. Moving on, the "Optics" area provides a fine explanation of visual illusions, Newton's color wheel, and a place where visitors can build their own rainbow. Finally, the site is rounded out by a nice "Miscellaneous" section that offers sine wave demonstrations, lunar phase illustrations, and a space time lab game. >From The Scout Report, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2011. http://scout.wisc.edu/
