A Physics teacher's web page offers FREEWARE as SCIENCE INSTRUCTION RESOURCES. Download Multi-Media as QuickTime movies, QuickBASIC programs, HyperCard stacks, LabVIEW 2 VI's, etc..

PhotoGIF's can be used to animate DIRECTLY ONLINE. Study the animation below: would you believe that it is possible for a 3 Kg and a 1 Kg object to move toward each other at the same magnitude in velocity (2 m/s) such that the 3 Kg object is stopped "dead" in its path upon COLLISION? The direction of the 1 Kg object is REVERSED and the magnitude of its velocity is DOUBLED. Click here for the solution.
Thank you for visiting this web page: here's FREEWARE which can be downloaded at any time...
  1. 1.8 MB of QuickTime movies can be downloaded while visiting the menu below -- minimum requirements: a color Macintosh computer with 8 MB RAM. Your Movie Player software should be set on 'LOOP'
  2. 5.4 MB of color HyperCard stacks can be downloaded while visiting the menu below -- minimum requirements: Stuffit Expander and a color Macintosh computer with 8 MB RAM.

CONTENTS

Each 'SIR' item below is a separate web page with an IMAGE and a DESCRIPTION. Some SIR items contain FREEWARE as HyperCard Stacks, and QuickTime Movies, too. SIR items marked with QBASIC contain FREEWARE in the folder described in #3, ABOVE.

Note -- a complete version of this web project is being set up on our school's server with over 25 MB of FREEWARE to download. Please try again if our server refuses a connection.
