1. The Galileo Games - In this PBS feature, you'll get a sampling of Galileo's thought experiments and conduct virtual versions of his experiments, including those using an inclined plane and a pendulum.
2. An index of Newton's Laws animations from the Physics Classroom
3. An index of Newton's laws tutorials - from the Physics Classroom (a total of 16 separate lessons)
4. Java applet which students would use to collect data to sketch velocity as a function of time.
5. Java applet displaying three position vs time graphs and three velocity vs time graphs. Your students must determine which of the graphs are correct.
6. Newton's Second Law Experiment - During movement a red point in the t-s-diagram (time - displacement) indicates the present time and the covered distance. This Java applet allows students to collect data for graphing.
7. Passing Lane - an animation and graph of position vs time
8. Passing Lane - an animation and graph of velocity vs time
9. Reaction time applet - use to gather data for graphing
10. Ticker Tape Diagrams - A common way of analyzing the motion of objects in physics labs is to perform a ticker tape analysis. The practice problems included will help your students evaluate the time variable.
