Advanced Physics: Learning & Teaching Resources

"Physics for the 21st Century: an on-line course that explores the frontiers of physics. The 11 units, accompanied by videos, interactive simulations, and a comprehensive Facilitator's Guide, work together to present an overview of key areas of rapidly-advancing knowledge in the field, arranged from the sub-atomic scale to the cosmological."

"The National Science Digital Library provides high quality online educational resources for teaching and learning, with current emphasis on the sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines—both formal and informal, institutional and individual, in local, state, national, and international educational settings."

Physics Community Portal from Merlot. The resources contained here forces on singular learning objects. These are "open access and open source content that improves conceptual understanding and problem solving."

Educational videos from professors and textbooks. Lessons include brief introductions to topics and transcripts of lessons.

"ComPADRE is the Digital Library for the educational resources used by educators, researchers, and students in physics and astronomy. This service of the American Association of Physics Teachers is designed to help teachers and learners find, and use, high quality resources through web-based collections and services tailored to their specific needs."

"The Physical Sciences Resource Center is a web-based databank that provides K-20 teachers links to a wide range of teaching and learning resources in the physical sciences. All materials are classified by their grade level, topic, and activity type, and have descriptions outlining their content."

"The Editors and Users of The Physics Front select physics resources based upon the quality of content, best-practice pedagogy, affordability and ease of classroom set-up, and web site accessibility. The resources, all carefully selected and reviewed, represent a variety of instructional methods, including Inquiry, Project-Based Learning, Modeling, Blended Learning, Experiential Learning, Multisensory Instruction, Cooperative Learning, and Socratic Dialog."

"Physics To Go is an online monthly mini-magazine and a collection of more than 1000 websites with physics images, activites, and info." The Project ended in 2013 but the archives are free and accessible.

Produced by the Physics in Society team at the Institute of Physics, a searchable database of over 4,000 handpicked websites. The site also includes tutorials about Physics.

Comprehensive set of resources to help create learning objectives, lessons plans, and assessments. Created by the University of Michigan.

"Research-based strategies for lesson, subject, and program design and development." Sample lesson plans along with tips and techniques from MIT.

Tips on how to run a classroom and a lab. "This Teaching Guide is meant to give UC Berkeley GSIs well informed guidance as they begin teaching."

A collection of links to teaching resources created by the Searle Center for Advancing Learning & Teaching at Northwestern University.

A resource collection for physics education researchers.
