Exam Preparation

The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) received funding from the National Science Foundation to prepare a middle school mathematics module incorporating real-time weather data.  This section of the module includes information on basic concepts in thermodynamics.

This site provides various visual examples of atmospheric optics. 

This web site contains tutorials on basic topics in physics. It also includes a tutorial on basic math skills required for physics. The tutorials clearly explain the basic concepts and provide practice opportunities.

These web lecture notes from the Physics Department of the University of Winnipeg discuss phenomena associated with electricity and magnetism.

This site provides a definition for fluid mechanics and includes equations that describe the flow of fluids.

This web site by C. R. Nave hosted by Georgia State University provides a comprehensive coverage of physics with very nice tutorials on all major concepts of physics.  Clicking the topic of interest on the concept map will produce a concept map of subtopics; further clicking gives well written tutorials.  These concept maps help one see how the various topics are interrelated.  You can access the web site or  purchase the materials on CD ROM.

This site discusses mechanical waves and their motion. 

This site discusses kinematics and 1-dimensional motion. It also includes animations and practice problems.

This webpage from the University of Virginia's Physics Department introduces concepts that are useful for describing motion.

This site develops general
equations about dynamics for the motion of solid objects. 

This site contains tutorials on a variety of physics topics.  The tutorials include well illustrated explanations and practice problems.

This website discusses geometrical optics; the basic optical phenomenon of refraction and reflection; and important terminology and formulas dealing with optics, among other topics.

The Physics Classroom Tutorial is an online physics tutorial written for high school physics students. The tutorial was originally developed for physics students at Glenbrook South High School in Glenview, Illinois. Today the Tutorial pages and other original Glenbrook South resources are hosted by StudyWorks! Online.

This site includes links related to the laws of thermodynamics, entropy, Maxwell's Demon and more.

This website discusses various aspects of mechancial waves, including water waves and sound waves.  

Provides an easy-to-understand explanation of static electricity.
