I love this website. Scribd is a great resource to upload and share your files. I like to use it for my lesson plans, concept maps, power points, etc. so they are easy for me to access and share with others.
If you check out the Lesson Plans page, all of the lesson plan links lead [...]

Horizontal Projectile Motion Lab
Great idea (as always) from Physics & Physical Science Demos, Labs, & Projects for High School Teachers for a lab where kids try to guess where a projectile will land.
Read it here.
Rhett at Dot Physics has a very similar post which includes some great diagrams.

Higgs Boson Particle & Particle Physics in America
I just saw this great special on Fermilab and Particle Physics in America. I think it’s a great way to explain to students the reality of progress in American science (especially Physics). It’s also a great way for students to get a practical look at jobs in theoretical and experimental Physics.

Mystery Circuit Box
I found an article about mystery circuit boxes several years ago in The Physics Teacher. I’ve recently had the opportunity to actually use it in a lesson!
Martha Lietz (the author of the lesson I based mine off of) uses rewired bathroom beauty bar lighting in order to teach her students about series and parallel circuits [...]
