This video from Laser-Tec is part of a series of light and optics experiments. In this lab, participants learn about optical filters. Participants learn how to identify primary and secondary colors, explore color mixing using primary and secondary filters, and learn about applications for color...

This video from SpaceTEC National Aerospace Technical Education Center explains the mechanics of orbital dynamics and Newton's First Law of Motion. This three minute video is one of the aerospace certification readiness courses.

This video, from the Laser and Fiber Optics Regional Center, is the third of eight lectures in the Introduction to Photonics Video Series for Technologists. This video discusses the particle properties of light. An overview of the following topics is provided: photon, absorption, emission, blackbody...

Look inside a resistor to see how it works. Increase the battery voltage to make more electrons flow though the resistor. Increase the resistance to block the flow of electrons. Watch the current and resistor temperature change. This simulation of a battery-resistor circuit is from the physics...

Pump gas molecules to a box and see what happens as you change the volume, add or remove heat, change gravity, and more. Measure the temperature and pressure, and discover how the properties of the gas vary in relation to each other. This simulation of a Gas Properties is from the Physics Education...

Learn about the physics of resistance in a wire. Change its resistivity, length, and area to see how they affect the wire's resistance. The sizes of the symbols in the equation change along with the diagram of a wire.This simulation of a Resistance in a Wire is from the Physics Education Technology...

The interactive resource, presented by the University of Colorado, Boulder, presents a demonstration how a doped semiconductor to create a diode or transistor. Watch the electrons change position and energy. This interactive simulation has a teacher's guide and an ideas and activities section.

Physclips is a collection of multimedia lessons on introductory topics in physics, presented by the School of Physics at the University of New South Wales in Australia. The content is divided into three modules, each focusing on a broad topic within physics: Mechanics (12 chapters), Waves and Sound...

This webpage from Iowa State University provides information about the physics of nondestructive evaluation. Nondestructive evaluation methods depend on principles of physics to detect issues within an object without causing damage. Information for the following principles are included: the atoms...

This resource, from the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, is a reference sheet for high school students. Definition of terms, diagrams, abbreviations, mathematical notations, force diagrams, and other useful information related to physics and nanotechnology are provided in an easy...
