Thanks.

Learning maps for the Level I and Level II physics class are posted at this link. Information regarding this link will be addressed in class as part of the "On screen" power point. There will also be an email and text message announcement.
Level 1 Plans… This link will take you to the plans for the level 1 class. Homework assignments are included here.
Level II Plans ... This link will take you to the plans for the level II physics class. Homework assignments are included here.
AP Plans… This link will take you to the AP class’s plans.
Homework assignments are included here.
Here is a link to the PHYSICS FOLDER. This is only accessible if you are currently logged into the school's network (you need to be at school!!!)
Reading guide is available here. This may be used by all classes. Copy and paste into a Word Processor and modify to fit your needs. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Summer Activities for the class of 2010-2011 is available now. It is expected that all students enrolled in Level 1 and Level 2 physics will complete the activities listed through this link. Students currently enrolled...help to spread the word!!!
Physics club information available here!!!
** note** There are some
links at the bottom. Check them out. I'll add more, when I get a chance to go
looking for some good sites** If you find good sites relating to physics, let
me know via email. Thank you.
Podcasts and the blog site... Check out the instructions for RSS feeds. If you click on the ''iTunes" feed at the bottom of the blog page, then new videos will automatically download when you open iTunes. Even if you do not own an iPod, this is a great way to watch the videos! The videos are rather large in file size. If you have Quicktime or any player that will play Quicktime, this DOES work. Give it time to load the movie (about 5~10minutes..time it...) and be patient...
If you would like to contact me at school during the day, please

List
of Links (I
am not responsible for the content on the sites of these links)
=>Looking for information about roller coaster? Then check out www.rcdb.com It's an all-inclusive roller coaster database. Thanks Joel!!!!
=> If we are going to look at movies....probably the best informational site is This one...The movie Database...(Thanks Austin). Included is is all the information you thought you wanted to know about any movie that ever hit screen....and then some. Also included here are clips, and complete episodes of various TV programs.
=> Check out the link to this computer!!! It's the next Windows machine. Thanks Matt!!!
=> http://www.hotchalk.com/nbc.html.
=> www.teachertube.com
like youtube, only educational….and not blocked by the school’s web filter
=> Do you need extra help with physics concepts? Check
out this website. There are explanations with video and equations.
=> How Things Work is a really cool
site for what the name implies… I checked this out using an automatic
transmission as my “test” wonder…
=> Interactive
Encyclopedia . I’m told this is a great
place to do some research.
> Hot Rod magazine. May sound funny, but they don’t print press
release information. This may not be considered a “Research journal,” but this
is one source where the writers and contributors follow scientific method. If
you are into cars and mechanical stuff, this is one great read.
=> Movie link site. I’m not going to be responsible for some of the humor on this site… although I will say some is very funny. Thanks to the student that sent me the link. Sorry it took so long to post.
=> Machines
that won’t work… Sounds strange, but
actually is really good.
=> Spark Notes is a web
site that has helpful information on various topics of physics. One student
stated that his site was very helpful in understanding some topics.
=> Bridge Contest is accessible here. There is a program that you need to download. (West
Point Design Competition, It's been a few years since I looked at this...but it
was really cool at one time)
=> WGAL Doppler radar by popular demand, here is the main site for
the Doppler radar.
=> SodaPlay. A student
suggested this site. There are some neat things here regarding physics. Let me
know what you think.
=> College Board. ...For AP exam info.
=> Mechanicsburg Area
School District. If you want to know more
about the school district. Currently, there is a science page with information
about the science department. There are also some links to some of the
teacher's "personal" pages… including this one…
=> Princeton Plasma Physics
Lab Website Get the truth on what is being
completed in the world of nuclear fusion. This is an excellent site.
=> physlink A student informed me of this site, and the one that
follows.
=> Integrals Is a site that may be helpful to those that have calc too.
=> Six Flags can be accessed through this link. Check out the latest
& greatest.
=> Cedar Point More roller coasters than any other park….. ‘nuff said.
=> Steven
Hawkings is a theoretical physicist that is
noted for his explanations of gravity.
=> Nasa's page can be accessed through this link. The site is neat,
with lots of information about the space program, which is beneficial and
relevant for the study of satellite motion.
=> Science Site This one
was forwarded to me. I looked at it, it might be of some use to some people.
=> Bicycling
Magazine Yes, I know... This may not relate
directly to physics, but you can't ride a bike without knowing some of the laws
of physics, plus it's a good site. Check out the Polls and cast a vote.
=> Science Net Here you will find, as with PHYSICS, over 600 links to
K-12 educational resources organized by Dewey and further divided by audience:
K-6, 7-12, and teachers.
