Making fun with Mechanics

For many high school students, Mechanics is a staring class course which is full of an in-class mathematics. But mechanics could be learned with a less equipment and more fun. The mechanics can be learned practically using software called tracker all that you need is a PC, Camera, and some patience. There are two wonderful articles regarding the practical way to learn mechanics which are linked below.

Tools to Learn General Science

PhET is a great resource for interactive science demos/animations. One example I’ve used for physics: create a skateboard ramp and watch as the skateboarder moves according to the conservation of energy. You can download and use the demos offline, but you need to keep your Flash updated, which can sometimes be a hassle.
Science animations is a simple website, but some of its animations show concepts clearly. There is more math used than in PhET, but it should be useful for first-year undergraduates or upper year high school students.
Hyperphysics is a good resource for people learning physics. It assembles most physics topics into a concept cloud, which helps illustrate connected concepts. The aesthetic is very modest. It has mostly text, but also simple diagrams and figures that support each core idea.
Clipgrab has been a reliable and useful tool for downloading YouTube videos for embedding into PowerPoint. There’s lots of tools out there for this, and this free one works well for me.

Learn SPECIAL Relativity



Learn SPECIAL Relativity

Relativity is a difficult concept to understand intuitively. It’s straight-forward to memorize the relevant equations and accept the seemingly-abstract assertion that time can move slower at high velocities. I like the simple animations in this post, which elucidate the lesson on special relativity by illustrating the relationship between light, time, and space.

Physicists Are Desperate to Be Wrong About the Higgs Boson

Physicists Are Desperate to Be Wrong About the Higgs Boson
When Paul Glaysher was approaching the end of his master’s degree in 2012, everyone was talking about the Higgs boson. After two years of smashing protons together, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider was about to bring the mysterious particle—it helps explain how the universe got its mass—out of the theoretical realm. Students who landed a spot on an LHC research team had a chance to aid the biggest discovery in modern physics.

Glaysher bit. Then, two months before he started his Ph.D. program with the University of Edinburgh’s CERN team, the LHC’s ATLAS and CMS experiments announced they had found the Higgs boson.
“It was a bit sad,” Glaysher says. “They waited 50 years to find it, and couldn’t wait the extra two months until I was part of the party.

The three years that followed were a champagne-fueled hangover. Further, data confirmed the Higgs discovery, and then the collider shut down for a two-year upgrade that more than doubled its particle-smashing power.
This summer, the LHC’s long-awaited restart came with a new promise: the chance to spot larger particles never before created in a human-made particle accelerator. Physicists believe they might glimpse the particles that make up dark matter—the unknown substance thought to make up a quarter of the universe—or even hints of other dimensions.
But despite the chance to study exotic new particles, Glaysher finds himself three and a half years later still studying the Higgs boson for the ATLAS experiment. Instead of spending his entire life chasing a specter, he’s examining something very real.
