Room With A View

Several grad students from the University of Alabama are in Antarctica and they’re blogging about their experiences. Also, they’re posting photos of their experiences on Flickr. It may be of interest to some students to see science in action.

On a technical note, their feed shows up in my news reader but the links don’t work. Hopefully they’ll get that fixed soon.

There are several great looking science simulations available at the University of Colorado.

Fun, interactive simulations of physical phenomena that make bridges to the real world, from the Physics Education Technology project at the University of Colorado.

There are simulations in the following categories:

• Motion
• Work, Energy & Power
• Sound & Waves
• Heat & Thermo
• Electricity, Magnets & Circuits
• Light & Radiation
• Quantum Phenomena
• Chemistry
• Math Tools
