Resource	Grade Level	Media Type
Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity What happens when you approach the speed of light? This video segment adapted from NOVA follows one of Albert Einstein's thought experiments and his quest to find the answer.	9-12	QuickTime Video
Galileo's Inclined Plane How did Galileo figure out the mathematics of falling bodies? This video segment adapted from NOVA examines Galileo's work on motion.	6-12	QuickTime Video
Galileo's Thought Experiment How can Earth move through space without our feeling its motion? This video segment adapted from NOVA answers this question by dramatizing one of Galileo's thought experiments.	6-12	QuickTime Video
Galileo: Sun-Centered System In the early 1600s, most people believed that the Sun revolved around a stationary Earth. This video segment adapted from NOVA tells how Galileo proved that the Sun, not Earth, is at the center of our universe.	3-12	QuickTime Video
Motion and Relativity This video from the American Museum of Natural History illustrates how motion is described relative to a frame of reference, and how Einstein's special theory of relativity is needed to describe the motion of objects traveling near the speed of light.	9-12	QuickTime Video
Projectile Motion In this interactive simulation adapted from University of Colorado’s Physics Education Technology project, learn about projectile motion by firing various objects from a virtual cannon into the air. Experiment with the settings and try to hit a target.	6-12	Flash Interactive
Rolling Ball Incline In this video adapted from the Encyclopedia of Physics Demonstrations, learn how plotting the changes in an object's position on a graph can provide information about the object's motion.	8-12	QuickTime Video
Virtual Car: Velocity and Acceleration Take control of a virtual car and learn how vectors are used to represent velocity and acceleration in this interactive activity developed for Teachers' Domain.	6-12	Flash Interactive
Virtual Pendulum This interactive activity from ZOOM offers a chance to experiment with a virtual pendulum and to see how it can be influenced by a variety of factors.	3-8	Shockwave Interactive
