A Bundle of Phyz: ATOMIC PHYSICS

This bundle begins with Paul Hewitt's homage to atoms, followed by The Mechanical Universe episode, "The Atom." Different perspectives, indeed.

"The Photoelectric Effect" Lab Springboard utilizes a few videoclips and PhET's The Photoelectric Effect sim to introduce this surprising topic.

"Fantasia on the Photoelectric Effect" provides a mechanical model to help understand the phenomena.

For a more quantitative look into the photoelectric effect, "Shine a Light" uses PhET's Photoelectric Effect sim. Students collect data, calculate key quantities, and plot results.

The Mechanical Universe episode, "Particles and Waves" describes the wave-particle duality.

Jim Al-Khalili's "Atom, Part 1: "Clash of Titans" traces our early understanding of the atom and the personalities who constructed it.

Al-Khalili's "The Secrets of Quantum Physics" details how strange the tenets of quantum mechanics (especially entanglement) are. And then it describes where quantum physics intersects with biology. Quantum biology may surprise you. It certainly surprised me.

A Bundle of Phyz: ATOMIC PHYSICS at Teachers Pay Teachers

If the shorter High School Adaptations of The Mechanical Universe are more your style, then Set 7: Light and the Atom is what you're looking for.
