Did You Know?
|
Did you know that lightning can travel at speeds of up to 136,000 mph and reach
temperatures up to 54,000 degrees Farenheit, five times the temperature of the Sun's
surface? The air nearby is heated so rapidly that a shock wave is created which
is heard as thunder.
The Edmund Scientific's Plasma Ball has long
been a fun "toy" that lets you bring a little taste of lightning into your home.

NIST Physical Reference
Data |
 Located in
the Physics Laboratory of the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)
website is the NIST Physical
Reference Data, a huge repository of searchable physics data. There are
so much material available here that it seems a bit overwhelming.
One of the most important areas of the
NIST Physical Reference Data is the
Online Reference Databases. Once you become familiar with the site,
you will find tons of useful information for your High School science fair projects.

Physics For Beginners |
Physics For Beginners
is a fantastic physics outline/overview that's very easy to follow if you are a total novice.
It introduce some concepts in physics (including Newton's laws of physics) to those
people with little or no experience. If you have taken many courses in physics,
these pages will be of little interest to you. For those needing the basics, this
is one of the best!
The Physics for Beginners
website also includes an Equation
Solver for quickly solving some of the more basic physics equations. This site is
perfect for Elementary kids, or any student that is just learning the basics.
