Purpose

Today's workshop will focus on using the Internet in the study of physics. Participants will review real time data projects, online experts and be given an opportunity to examine a wide variety of resources. 

Online Experts

CIESE Ask An Expert Ask a Physical Scientist Ask an Expert - Scientific American Ask Experts Your Physics Questions - PhysLINK How Things Work Ask an Engineer - Read past questions and answers only; no new questions may be asked How Stuff Works Write to a Scientist or Engineer

 Examples of Collaborative Projects

Racing with Newton's Laws of Motion

Classroom Projects that Use Real Time Data

Stowaway Adventure Navigational Vectors - Use real time flight info in vector lessons
