Java Applets on Physics
This website provides interactive Java applets on topics of physics – mechanics, oscillations and waves, electrodynamics, optics, thermodynamics, theory of relativity, physics of atoms, and nuclear physics. Suitable for NCEA.
HyperPhysics
This website has information about many topics in the subjects of physics, chemistry, geophysics, and biology. You can select the subject area to find a topic or select from an index. Suitable for NCEA levels 2 and 3.
Amusement Park Physics
This site looks at the physics of several side shows including roller coasters, bumper cars and carousels, and provides student activities. Suitable for NCEA levels 1 and 2.
The Physics Classroom
This website features physics tutorials to encourage the learning of basic physics concepts. These concepts are divided into the following topics: 1-dimensional kinematics; Newton's laws; vectors - motion and forces in two dimensions; momentum and its conservation; work, energy, and power; circular motion and satellite motion; waves; sound waves and music; light waves and colour; reflection and ray model of light; and refraction and ray model of light. There is also an option to take a quiz to assess your knowledge of each topic. Suitable for NCEA levels 1 and 2.
Fear of Physics
This website tackles some of the key principles of physics and provides illustrations and explanations to show how they work and what they mean. Topics include speed and acceleration, collisions, roller coasters, a basketball shot, why things fall, why satellites don't fall, things that spin, swinging pendulums, and more. Suitable for NCEA levels 1 and 2.
