 * General**
 * Various applets and simulation programs: []
 * More (lots for waves and oscillations): []
 * **STEM eLibrary**: []
 * IOP Guide to physics on the web: []
 * General links (from Bath Spa PEC course 2012): [|Blackboardresources.co.uk]
 * [|Schoolscience.co.uk - a general website of teaching resources] - This looks like a very useful site with information split by age group
 * [|BBC Learning] - Useful material from BBC and OU. In particular see "Class Clips" - short videos on a wide variety of topics.
 * [|Chronozoom] Needs a fast connection, but seeks to provide timeline of the whole universe, zoomable.
 * Advanced Physics topics: MIT open physics courses
 * [] - General teaching - cross curricular ideas linked to space.


 * Thermal Physics**


 * Climate change on teacher TV* - [|Climate change - geography - use as basis to discuss the physics]


 * Electricity & Magnetism**


 * Software to use to draw circuit diagrams - [] (Although this does not include many of the circuit elements you might want to include in a school circuit (such as a voltmeter and ammeter. You can however create your own symbols and libraries.


 * Mechanics & Materials**


 * Bridge designing tool - []
 * Teaching ideas and lesson plans - Mechanics teaching ideas
