Teaching physics through spreadsheet

Spreadsheets can be used very well in physics lessons. they use formulaes and the can be used to creat graphs. Hence after creating one situation it can be use to change for the " what if situations". Use of spreadsheets in class has made my students understand some concepts of waves like superimposition and others.

Assessment in Physics, Biology and Chemistry

This multi-media bibliography represents a selected listing of materials by Saskatchewan education department. It was last updated in 2004. It is very appropriate as support for the Secondary level science program. You can preview and choose materials in order that the needs of students in each particular school and community are met. This bibliography offers Assessment in Sciences which includes resources that were submitted to Saskatchewan Education during the pilot stage of the Secondary level science curriculum development project and which were positively reviewed. Teachers are encouraged to evaluate other new resources as they become available. The use of fiction and other genre as extensions and integrations for the new science curricula is encouraged. Titles that fit these categories may be found in respective subject area bibliographies published by Saskatchewan Education.

Teaching physics with technology

The WebPhysics project was started by Wolfgang Christian and Gregor Novak during the spring of 1995. Testing of these documents and other WWW curricular material will begin during the '95-'96 academic year at Davidson College and IUPUI. It contains a variey of links to very good sites like
-course material for physics
-Students work
-Some physics educational software
-Computers in Education
-Links to the Webphysics servers

Useful Blog

Hunblog is a very intresting blog which was updated on 11/07/06. Its a blog about how students can be encouraged to use blogs in their learning. It also has connection in constructivism, hand-on activity, inquiry based teaching, padagogy and Science Education. The connection is free and the links are working they are very useful for both teachers and students.
