Online Science Teaching Resources

ComPADRE is a collection of resources that cater to both Physics instructors and learners. It is a platform through which learners and instructors are given the ability to publish and search for high quality resources created for their specific needs. The comPADRE collections are a specialilzed place that reduces duplication, provides interoperability and facilitates resource sharing. The collections at comPADRE offer document hosting for Physics education related material. It organizes news, events, and forums of the Physics community as well as jobs, research, and opportunity databases. Dr. Bruce Mason of the OU Physics Department is the Principal Investigator of comPADRE.

Open-access textbooks in Physics & Math.
Euro-centric, but some books/chapters are authored by faculty at places like MIT, Rice, etc.

This image bank is home to many diagrams and illustrations that might be useful when teaching particle physics as well as many images related to the field and study of particle physics.
Images from the symmetry image bank may be downloaded, reproduced and published free of charge for use in presentations, reports, educational materials and websites, newspapers, online news sites and other not-for-profit educational outlets... A credit line that recognizes "symmetry magazine" must accompany each published image.

Use the course finder to browse from 12 physics specialties including: astrophysics, nuclear physics, particle physics, relativity, and theoretical physics. Use the limiters to select the types of OER you would like to use including: lecture notes, interactive simulations, online textbooks, and assessments.

Created by the NSF-funded Network for Computational Nanotechnology, and provides online presentations, courses, learning modules, podcasts, animations, and teaching materials.

To help students visually comprehend concepts, PhET simulations animate what is invisible to the eye through the use of graphics and intuitive controls such as click-and-drag manipulation, sliders and radio buttons. In order to further encourage quantitative exploration, the simulations also offer measurement instruments including rulers, stop-watches, voltmeters and thermometers. -PhET

Physics Classroom is a collection of Physics tutorials that cover all topics typically covered in college level Physics I and Physics II courses. Newton's laws, vectors, momentum, work and energy, rotational motion, optics, relativity, electricity and magnetism are all represented. Also featured on the Physics Classroom are animations of physical phenomena that will help any student to conceptualize physics.

Over 190 podcasts created by University of Oxford faculty, visiting lecturers, and conference addresses available on various topics, many of which are organized into series.

This open code resource is expanding daily as users contribute interactive illustrations to show concepts in a wide variety of topics.
