I want to visit interesting
websites!
Nebraska Astronomy Applet Project -
awesome simulations.
Seasky.org
Check EarthSky.org for details of
meteor showers
Jodrell Bank - great for UK orientated
astronomy info.
The Astronomy for Kids site has some
great resources

Visit the Rogue Physicist
YouTube Channel.
Check out the playlists section.
More to come soon.

This section of the site is where
I post interesting
links to resources, videos, games, comics, and other things that often fall
outside of the realms of the physics curriculum - but are fun
or interesting nonetheless!
Astronomy Resources
1. The Astronomy Applet Project by The
University of Nebraska-Lincoln has some great
astronomy and space simulations. They're flash
based, so they only work on PC (no mobile or tablet support).
Click the image above to visit the site.
2.
Eljet's
Observing the Skies pages has some excellent simulations
and animations, to illustrate ideas about moon phases, planets,
asteroids and more! Thanks to Court Philips and the crew
from After School Care Programs of El Paso County, California
for finding these!

3. The
astronomy calendar from "Sea And Sky" (seasky.org) is a good
resource to find out what interesting celestial events will be
taking place throughout the year. Go and look at it!

4. The
meteor shower guide from "EarthSky " (earthsky.org) tells
you about upcoming meteor showers, along with a guide of what
you should see and advice on how to get the best view.

5.
Jodrell Bank (a large observatory in Manchester) has a
very useful page which is updated monthly and will let you
know some of the things that you can look out for in the night
sky. It lists the phases of the Moon, where you will see the
naked-eye planets and describes some of the prominent
constellations in the night sky during the month.

6. The
Astronomy for Kids website
has lots of interactive learning activities to help you learn
about the interesting objects in our solar system, galaxy and
into deep space!

Fantastic contraption is an
awesome physics puzzle game.
Go and play it!
The PhET website,
based in Colorado has lots of simulations which will help you to explore
a wide range of scientific ideas and physical phenomena, in a visual
way. You will probably recognise s\ome of the simulations from my
lessons. Go and play and explore and enjoy...!
The IoP's Teaching Advanced
Physics (TAP) website has lots of useful resources, worksheets etc.
Students may wish to visit the site to find worksheets to gain
additional practice with difficult topics, or teachers may want to look
for resources and ideas for lesson planning.
I hope you find something fun, useful, or entertaining to enjoy!
