Website Detail Page

written by Powell Jones, Denis Chalifoux, Pina Chiarello, and Lynden Dorval
This high school physics course website consists of four units: Motion, Circular Motion, Waves, and Light. Each unit offers a broad scope of resources organized into modules that include interactive simulations, videos, and Power Point lecture materials related to each module. Open source Physlets have also been adapted for high school learners within many of the modules.

This resource is maintained by a team of physics teachers from Ross Sheppard High School in Edmonton, Alberta.

Please note that this resource requires Java, or Shockwave.
