Physics animations, film clips, interactive tutorials and supporting pages Volume 1: Mechanics Volume 2: Waves and Sound Volume 3: Electricity and Magnetism Physclips - Mechanics Introduction Constant Acceleration Projectiles Circular Motion Simple Harmonic Motion Newton's Laws Weight and Contact Forces Energy and Power Centre of Mass Momentum Rotation Gravity Supporting pages and downloads Physclips - Waves and Sound Oscillations Travelling Waves I Travelling Waves II Sound The Doppler Effect Supporting pages and downloads More chapters will be added during 2010. Resources: Electricity and Magnetism AC Circuits Power, RMS and 3-phase AC circuits Filters Transformers Electric motors and generators Homopolar motors and generators Drift velocity and Ohm's law The electromagnetic spectrum Downloads The Physclips project provides learning and reference tools for students and resources for teachers. The level is approximately that of introductory university or advanced high school (For some primary school resources, seeGlimpses of Science.). Each chapter includes a multimedia tutorial, with interactive control, which gives a brief overview. Hyperlinks provided within and at the ends of the tutorial link to broader and deeper discussions. The individual film clips, animations, diagrams and photos are freely available as downloads for teachers and designers, either individually or in a compressed file. To date, we provide largely completed volumes on Mechanics (11 chapters) and Introduction to Special Relativity (6 chapters). The volume on Waves and Sound has begun (3 chapters) and we shall add more chapters as they are completed. For Electricity and Magnetism, we provide a set of resources and support pages on applications, but as yet no tutorials or formal development. So far, only Waves and Sound has home experiments, and only Relativity incorporates a self test. Physclips has won the Physics division of the2007 Pirelli Prizes for Science Communication Einsteinlight: Relativity in 10 minutes or 10 hours Einsteinlight was the predecessor to Physclips. The multimedia modules give a brief overview of relativity - they present the main ideas. Inevitably, you will have questions. So the related links give more complete explanations, at levels with () or without mathematics (). The text from the multimedia modules is available in Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian and Spanish. review in Science magazine award from Scientific American Einstein Light has also been recommended by a range of other organisations, journals and web directories, including the Australian Institute of Physics, the Sunday Times, Yahoo (pick of the day, 22/10/2005) etc. Support for this project website has been provided by The Australian Learning and Teaching Council, an initiative of the Australian Government Department of Education, Science and Training.
