More Educational Sites
- Particle Physics Education Sites
- Annotated bookmark list of particle physics education and information sites, national laboratory education programs, women and minorities in science, and other physics sites, the Physics Alliance, and accelerators at national laboratories.
- Online Particle Physics Information
- This annotated list provides a highly selective set of online resources that are useful to the particle physics community. It describes each Web site so that efficient choices can be made amongst many sites which may appear similar.
- CERN
- Their new public site has a two minute tour of CERN and pages to explore the atom, accelerators, technology, education, and research highlights.
- Contemporary Physics Education Project (CPEP)
- Provides charts, brochures, Web links, and classroom activities.
- Fermilab Education and Outreach Resources for Particle Physicists
- Outstanding collection of resources from the 'grandmother' of all physics lab educational programs.
- Physics Web
- There are several useful links to collections of resources on this page, particularly the links to: Hands-On Experiments; Exercises and Problems; and Demonstrations. Targeted to the university level.
- The Particle Detector BriefBook
- This is a condensed handbook, or an extended glossary, written in encyclopedic format, covering subjects around particle detectors, the underlying physics, and the analysis of their data. It intends to be both introduction for newcomers and reference for physicists working in the field.
Other Science Education Sites
- Albert Einstein
- A meta-Einstein site with links to dozens of places with resources by and about this scientist.
- Ask A Scientist
- Questions are answered by volunteer scientists throughout the world. Service provided by the Newton BBS through Argonne National Lab.
- Brookhaven National Laboratory
- Science Museum Programs
- Mad Scientist's Network: Ask A Question
- Responds to hundreds of questions a week. Contains an extensive archive of answered questions.
- Mad Scientist's Network: The Edible/Inedible Experiments Archive
- Organized by scientific field. For each experiment, uses common materials and identifies whether the experiment is edible, inedible, or (in one case!?) "partially drinkable".
- Science for the Millenium: Expo Web
- Aimed at diverse audiences, this site focuses chiefly on astronomy, astrophysics, advanced computation, and virtual environments to showcase recent advances in these fields. The content is deep and the site is well-designed, permitting hierarchical and serendipitous use. Maintained by NCSA with significant help from the Electronic Visualization Laboratory.
- The Virtual Laboratory
- A series of experiments using Java that are targeted at physics classes for non-majors where there are no physical lab sections. The experiments provide conceptual interfaces to the equations of physics and represent interaction with data that simulates a real physics experiment. Includes links to a broader collection of physics experiments.
