This might be something nice for after the AP exams in your AP Physics course. High school physics content was developed in the 17th-20th centuries. This series gets you past 1927.
Dark matter, string theory, particle accelerators, and other big topics in modern physics come together in this 11-part multimedia course for high school physics teachers, undergraduate students, and all adults who are fascinated by physics and cosmology. The course covers a broad scale, from sub-atomic particle physics, through atomic and molecular physics, to cosmology. The 11 video programs feature 22 case studies of researchers from leading research labs and universities who are breaking new ground in their fields. An extensive companion website provides background information and concepts found in a printable online textbook, interactive simulations, a course facilitator’s guide, and multiple other resources.
Stretching current technology in attempts to detect elusive neutrinos and the Higgs boson. Post-2010 epilogue: Happy—There's good news from LHC.
In the LHC's ATLAS, you can get 40 million images per second. But you can only keep 200. How to choose? And what if you've got detectors that might report a pion as an electron? Post-2010 epilogue: Happy—There's good news from LHC.
Does Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation work for point masses very close to each other? And how can perpendicular laser beams detect gravitational waves? Post-2010 epilogue: Happy—There's good news from LIGO. I'm adding this episode to my GRAVITY Bundle of Phyz.
Can string theory explain the early rapid inflation of the universe? And can string theory demystify black holes and superconductivity? Post-2010 epilogue: Unhappy—String Theory continues to search for evidence.
Do strongly-interacting fermions constitute a superfluid? Is there an atom better than cesium to build an atomic clock around? I'm adding this one to my HEAT & THERMO Bundle of Phyz.
A better title for this one is "High Temperature Superconductors," because that's what this episode is actually about. I'm adding this episode to my ELECTRIC CIRCUITS Bundle of Phyz.
Using the non-intuitive properties of quantum mechanics to manipulate photons, and using BEC to slow light to bicycle speeds, all paving the way to quantum computing. I have three light-related Phyz bundles, and there's a case to be made for this episode joining any of them. For now I'm adding it the WAVE OPTICS Bundle of Phyz.
M&M packing, liquid twisting, and probing the nature of supercritical water and high temperature superconductors.
Self-assembly and proton therapy provide contexts in which physics is applied to biological systems.
10. Dark Matter [FREE]
I was completely unaware of the connection between Dark Matter and Deadwood (two programs that I truly enjoyed). But it's revealed in this episode. And it has to do with WIMPS. I'm adding this episode to my STARS+BIG BANG Bundle of Phyz.
Not only is the universe expanding, but that expansion is accelerating. Here's a bit of the story of how we figured it out, and how we're trying to make sense of it. I'm adding this episode to my STARS+BIG BANG Bundle of Phyz.
Clicking episode titles will take you to the episode's TPT question set page, which is rich with details and links.
