| Unit 1: The Nature of Science | - Site 1
- www.about.com breaks down each a hypothesis, law and theory and goes into specific detail about each one.
- Site 2
- www.science.kennesaw.edu is a site that puts law and theory in more educational terms and is a little harder to understand.
- Site 3
- www.wilstar.com
is an entire site dedicated to Scientific Law, theories and hypothesis.
It describes the similarities between all three, and the differenes and
how they all relate to each other. The author says, "A law describes a
single action, whereas a theory explains an entire group of related
phenomena."
- Site 4
- www.evolution.com
is a website that discusses the process of evolution, however before
going into detail Ken Harding describes the misconceptions between laws
and theories. He does a good job putting it into terms that make it easy to understand the difference between the two.

| Unit 2: Color Phenomena | - Site 1
- www.ucar.edu
is a website setup in the form of a question and answer website. It
starts off real broad describing and explaining rainbows but later goes
into greatere detail. It also has some real abstract drawings to go
along with their great explainations.
- Site 2
- www.ezinearticles.com
is a site that gives a simplistic description of different topics. It
starts out giving the histroy of 3D and how it evolved and moved onto
different types of 3D devices. It didn't describe much about 3D but it
was still a interesting website because you went through the life and
itmes of 3D designs.
- Site 3
- www.sketchpad.net
is a website that breaks down the RGB and CMYK color model and talks
about each one individually. It describes what happens with each color
as you mix them together. They use some terms that are a little
advanced but then they give you a good description about what each
thing is.
- Site 4
- www.whowhatwherewhenwhy.com
is a neat site that explain how items used in everyday life. This
particular link tells how 3D glasses work.

| Unit 3: Kinetic Theory, Gas Laws, Phases of Matter | - Site 1
- www.
com.uark.edu defines the kinetic theory, and also contains an applet
where you can set the number of particles, chagne the speed and set the
size.
- Site 2
- www.chemed.chem.purdue.edu
provides an explaination of different gas laws over time ranging form
Boyle, to Amonton, Charles and many others. It provides the equations
and also practice problems for each law.
- Site 3
- www.palmbeach.us
is a helpful document describing the phases of matter (solid, liquid,
gas and plasma). It covers just about everything you could ever want to
know about the subject.
- Site 4
- www.chm.davidson.edu
explains the concept of a heating curve, and also allows you to create
your own heating curving by setting the heating rate you want.
|
| Unit 4: Phase Changes, Heat Transfer | - Site 1
- www.common.wikimedia.org shows a wonderful picture about what happens as substances change from solid,
liquid, gas, and plasma.
- Site 2
- www.hyperphsyics.edu is a great site that provide information on heat transfer, heat conduction, and
heat convection. Also provides other links for more information.
- Site 3
- www.chem4kids.com provides a very simplified definition of the states of matter. Your
knowledge can be tested by a brief quiz too (click the link on the page for
the quiz).
- Site 4
- www.coolcosmos.edu gives definitions and pictures of all three ways used to transfer heat.
|
| Unit 5: Pressure, Scuba Diving | - Site 1
- www.hyperphysics.edu
provides a definition of pressue, the equation to find pressure, as
well as, information on pressue at energy density, fluid kinetic
energy, and fluid potential energy.
- Site 2
- www.school-for-champions.com describes pressure as well as how it affects solids, fluids and gravity.
- Site 3
- www.physics.kenyon.edu shows various types of hydrostatic paradox devices.
- Site 4
- www.weather.about.com discusses what a barometer is and how it works.
|
| Unit 6: Gravity, Mass, Density & Weight, Buyoancy, Bernoulli's Principle, Scaling | - Site 1
- www.home.earthlink.net explains Bernoulli's Principle and provides a demo where you can change
the shape of the pipe, and see how everything else is effected.
- Site 2
- www.physics.ucla.edu describes the difference between weight, mass, and density is explained on this
website and provides demonstrations as how to measure each.
- Site 3
- www.hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu provides an excellent explanation of buoyancy (with extra links for further
information) and talks about Archimedes' Principle
- Site 4
- www.csep10.phys.utk.edu explains Newton's idea of gravity, shows the orbital cannon, and
relates
gravitational force to mass and weight
|
| Unit 7: Science & Religion: Creation, Evolutoin & The Paranormal | - Site 1
- www.plato.standford.edu goes into detail about the debate between science and religion and the conflict between the two.
- Site 2
- www.discovery.org
provides the explaination of demarcation of science and religion and
talks about and describes compartmentalism.
- Site 3
- www.allaboutphilosophy.org
approaches the differences between science and religion is naturalism
and this website provides an explaination of what naturalism is.
- Site 4
- www.wikipedia.org
provides a definition of theism as well as the different aspects of it:
monotheism, polytheism, pantheism, panentheism, deism, and autotheism.
|
| Unit 8: Matter Classification: Types of Crystals, Solutions and Suspensions | - Site 1
- www.wikipedia.org provides an entire list of all the alloys for each element.
- Site 2
