The Physclips project provides learning and reference tools for students and resources for teachers. The level is approximately that of introductory university or advanced high school (For some primary school resources, see Glimpses of Science.).
Each chapter includes a multimedia tutorial, with interactive control, which gives a brief overview. Hyperlinks provided within and at the ends of the tutorial link to broader and deeper discussions. The individual film clips, animations, diagrams and photos are freely available as downloads for teachers and designers, either individually or in a compressed file.
To date, we provide largely completed volumes on Mechanics (11 chapters) and Introduction to Special Relativity (6 chapters). The volume on Waves and Sound has begun (5 chapters) and we shall add more chapters as they are completed. For Electricity and Magnetism and Thermal Physics, we provide a set of resources and support pages on applications, but as yet no tutorials or formal development. So far, only Waves and Sound has home experiments, and only Relativity incorporates a self test. |
