Note: Many of ConneXion's physics resources are based on the OpenStax physics textbook, and there are quite a few modified versions of the OpenStax textbook.  We suggest that you search ConneXions if you are interested in viewing a modified version of OpenStax's physics textbook.  The resources listed below are not the modified OpenStax textbook.

• Music, Waves, Physics

  the concept of waves as seen in sound
• What is Physics?
• Planck, Einstein and Science in Society

  Discuss Einstein’s and Planck’s differing views about whether science research is removed from social and political forces
• Ohm’s Law: Resistance and Simple Circuits

  •Explain the origin of Ohm’s law. •Calculate voltages, currents, or resistance with Ohm’s law. •Explain what an ohmic material is. •Describe a simple circuit.

• The Adventure of Physics - Vol. 1: Fall, Flow and Heat

  This book is written for anybody who is curious about nature and motion. Curiosity about how people, animals, things, images and space move leads to many adventures. This volume presents the best of them in the domain of everyday life.
• The Adventure of Physics - Vol. 2: Relativity

  This book is written for anybody who is curious about nature and motion. Curiosity about how people, animals, things, images and empty space move leads to many adventures. This volume presents the best of them in the domains of relativity and cosmology. In the study of motion – physics – special and general relativity form two important building blocks.
• The Adventure of Physics - Vol. 3: Light, Charges, and Brains

  This book is written for anybody who is curious about nature and motion. Curiosity about how people, animals, things, images and space move leads to many adventures. This volume presents the adventures one encounters when exploring everything electric.
• The Adventure of Physics - Vol. 4: The Quantum of Change

  This book is written for anybody who is curious about nature and motion. Have you ever asked: Why do people, animals, things, images and space move? The answer leads to many adventures; this volume presents those due to the discovery that there is a smallest change value in nature.
• The Adventure of Physics - Vol. 5: Motion Inside Matter - Pleasure, Technology and Stars

  This book is written for anybody who is curious about nature and motion. Curiosity about how bodies, images and empty space move leads to many adventures. This volume presents the best adventures about the motion inside people, inside animals, and inside any other type of matter – from the largest stars to the smallest nuclei.
• The Adventure of Physics - Vol. 6: The Strand Model - A Speculation on Unification

  This book is written for anybody who is intensely curious about nature and motion. Have you ever asked: Why do people, animals, things, images and empty space move? The answer leads to many adventures, and this book presents one of the best of them: the search for a precise, unified and final description of all motion.
