Teaching Advanced Physics

 Maintained by staff members at the Institute of Physics, the Teaching Advanced Physics (TAP) website provides a wealth of resources designed to help teach physics to advanced high school and college students. The materials here are divided into seven sections, including Electricity, Mechanics, Vibrations and waves, and Energy. Within each of these sections, visitors will find smaller "episodes" which represent a coherent section of teaching that can be covered in one or two lessons. Each episode includes illustrations accompanied by explanatory text that can be used to complement an existing lesson plan. The extensive site covers over 30 topics, including circular motion, Newton's law, drag forces, and kinematics.

National Nuclear Data Centre

The National Nuclear Data Centre (NNDC) is a comprehensive, web-based nuclear data resource. It collects, evaluates and disseminates nuclear physics data for basic nuclear research and for applied nuclear technologies. The information available to the users of NNDC services is the product of the combined efforts of the NNDC and cooperating data centers and other interested groups in the United States and worldwide.
The NNDC specializes in nuclear structure and low-energy nuclear reactions, nuclear databases and information technology and nuclear data compilation and evaluation.
