Physics can be daunting for many students, but educators on the Physics Bus are trying to change that. Educators on the big silver bus showcase novel exhibits built out of everyday items, ...

The first semester of an undergraduate physics course invariably spends a lot of time on two big ideas: The momentum principle and the work energy principle. Both deal with forces acting on an object, ...

Welcome to Python Physics Lesson 5, where we explore projectile motion with drag forces. In this lesson, we go beyond idealized motion to show how air resistance affects trajectories, velocity, and ...

Physicists and educationalists have many theories about why so few girls study physics. Valerie Jamieson goes back to school and asks female pupils what they really think. Vanessa Bennett, Callie ...
