Highlights
Easy-to-understand Physics
Tom Henderson has been teaching high school physics since 1989. ComPADRE, NSDL’s Physics and Astronomy Pathway hosts a popular online physics tutorial that Tom Henderson developed to help high school students at Glenbrook South High School in Glenview, Illinois on the Physics Classroom web site. Physics Classroom resources contain a tutorial with built-in self-assessment tools for checking comprehension, animations and QuickTime media that demonstrate physics in action, and relevant question-and-answer pages. Henderson’s hands-on, basic skill approach seems to be catching on. NSDL webmetrics reports that the Physics Classroom site received more than 600,000 page views during the first week of April.
