Albert Einstein: Image and Impact - Read about Einstein's astounding theory of relativity and his discovery of the quantum, his thoughtful philosophy, and his rise above a turbulent life including marriages and exile. This Einstein exhibit contains many pictures, cartoons, voice clips, and essays on Einstein's work on special relativity, Brownian motion, and more.
Amusement Park Physics - How do physics laws affect amusement park ride design? In this exhibit, you'll have a chance to find out by designing your own roller coaster. Plan it carefully--it has to pass a safety inspection.You can also experiment with bumper car collisions.
Build A Bridge - An interactive site on which you can learn about bridge design to withstand earthquakes, build a model, and test your design.
Explore Learning - The best way to get a feel for the Explore Learning experience, what we like to call the "Ah-ha!" moment, is to watch one of our demonstration movies. This site includes "Gizmos" which are interactive experiments in motion and forces--Animated demos explain the scientific concepts behind our world (shockwave plug-in required)
From Apples to Orbits: The Story of Gravity - learn about gravity and use simulations.
Fundamental Physics Constants - Information at the foundation of modern science and technology from the Physics Laboratory of NIST.
Gravity & Inertia - What are they? How do they work? Read, learn, and PLAY!
Interactive Physics and Math with Java - This site has a wealth of interactive physics demonstrations for middle and high school students. Students can see a single slit diffraction, circuits, pendulums, and more. It's a great site.
Motion & Forces - Fundamental concepts and interactive activities covering motions and forces.
Phun - free, downloadable software that allows user to draw things and see how they interact with gravity.
The Science Spot: Kids Zone - Physics Links - Forces & Motion.
Structures Around the World - learn about structures through these activities from the Exploritorium.
