"Physics4kids" is yet another website of the "4kids" family. It presents physics concept in a language that most students at the end of elementary school will be able to understand. There are quizzes throughout the website as the student get acquainted with the concepts to test their knowledge. The site presents the concept of motion including simple movements and complex movements, forces, acceleration, mass, lever, vectors, the three laws of motion, instantaneous velocity, transfer of energy and work. Even as an adult, if all of this is just a big nightmare of your past when you were in high school, you can relax and read through it. You will realize that it is not that bad.
Other topics covered include : thermodynamics (energy transfer, expansion, heat, temperatures, first and second laws of thermodynamics, enthalpy and entropy), optics (electromagnetic radiation, visible light, light structure, reflection, refraction, lenses and lasers), electricity and magnetism (charges, conductors, electric fields, magnetic fields, current, resistance, Faraday's law, Coulomb's law, magnet and AC/DC power) and modern physics (nuclear physics, quantum physics, radioactivity, fission, fusion and reactors). |

Quizinator is a free online application designed to help teachers and instructors create, manage, store, and print their educational documents.
Quizinator allows teachers to easily create a resource library of questions and answers, and group them by subject, category, levels and difficulty. Users can quickly create ad hoc worksheets, study sheets, handouts, exams, and quizzes, which they can print at any time, with or without answer keys, right from their browser. Images can be added to questions, and mathematical and chemical formulas and graphs can be easily inserted.
Since Quizinator is a centralized, online repository for all documents and their resource components, everything is kept in one place. Any changes to the library instantly update all documents that contain them. It's easy to make different versions of an exam. With Quizinator's drag and drop sorting capabilities, users can reorder questions and even their answers in a few seconds.
Users can create public links to any document making them available to anyone outside Quizinator, and can post them into any personal website, such as a blog, teacher webpage or Moodle account. By using public links, users don’t have to download files from Quizinator and upload them anywhere else. Additionally, public links are kept current since they always point to the newest version of the document.

"Cosmos4kids" is part of the same series than the site I presented yesterday : Chem4kids. It is a great introduction to space and astronomy with a language that most students at the end of elementary school should understand. The website design is appealing and subjects covered by this website include :the origins of the universe, gravity, the vacuum of space and electromagnetic radiations. The site also talks about galaxies and stars, including the Milky Way, constellations, black holes and clusters. Students will also get information about the solar system and all the planets that are part of it and other solar system details such as the solar wind, the heliosphere, the heliopause, the asteroid belt, asteroids, the Kuiper Belt, Comets and moons. There is also a technology component that includes spacecrafts, probes and satellites used to explore the universe. |

Now this is chemistry made easy! "Chem4kids" presents many different chemistry concepts in a language that most students at the end of elementary school and beginning of high school will understand. It is great to present the three states of matter and the changes from one state to another. Students can also learn about mixtures and solutions, alloys and amalgams. They also discover how neutrons, protons and electrons form atoms that can be combined to form molecules. They are introduced to the periodic table of elements. It also talks about reactions, stoichiometry, thermodynamics, equilibrium, catalysts and inhibitors as well as acids and bases. There is also an introduction to biochemistry. It is certainly too simple for advanced chemistry course in high school, but it is great for younger students who have an interest in the subject. |
