What happens when light from the Sun shines on the Earth?

Short Description:
This course is intended for prospective and practicing elementary and middle school teachers. By exploring physical phenomena in class, you will learn science in ways in which you are expected to teach science in schools or in informal settings such as afterschool programs, youth group meetings, and museum workshops. This course also is appropriate for general science students and others interested in exploring some of the physical phenomena underlying global climate change. Data dashboard

Conceptual Physics is a year-long course based on CK-12 OER instructional material and supplemented with limited commercially-available materials. The course is project-based, argument-driven inquiry. Each unit begins with presentation of an intriguing phenomenon, followed by an essential question about the phenomenon, and a project centered on answering that essential question. Throughout the unit, students conduct research and investigations to answer portions of the question. Each unit has a student "Task" at the end that serves as an assessment of the unit's concepts. At the end of each unit, students assemble all of the unit tasks and synthesize a personal final project that answers the essential question in a personal context chosen by the student.

Chemistry 540 - Physical Organic Chemistry covers the principles of chemical bonding, mechanisms of organic chemical reactions and stereochemistry. The important types of organic reactions are also discussed, with an emphasis on basic principles. As a part of this course, U-M students collaboratively created and editedWikipedia€÷articles. Student contributions can be found below, within the "Wikipedia Articles" section.

Textbook for ANTH 101: Introduction to Physical Anthropology at College of the Canyons
Examines the evolution of the human species and non-human primates primarily from the biological perspective. Topics include human heredity and population genetics, primate behavior and conservation, the human fossil record, and modern human variation.

Observational physical oceanography includes topics such as the  physical description of the sea, the physical properties of seawater, methods and measurements, wind-driven ocean circulation, abyssal ocean circulation, boundary processes, and wave motions.

A free, two-volume, on-line, editable, introductory calculus based physics textbook in PDF™ and Microsoft Word™ format. Also provides ancillary materials including video solutions to physics problems and Blackboard™ quizzes with extensive feedback.

Mathematics for Quantum Physics provides a compact introduction to the most important mathematical tools used in quantum mechanics. The text is aimed at students who already possess basic knowledge of calculus and complex numbers. It is divided into three parts: analysis, linear algebra and probability. The focus is on examples and applications, and each section comes with a collection of exercises.

University Physics is a three-volume collection that meets the scope and sequence requirements for two- and three-semester calculus-based physics courses. Volume 1 covers mechanics, sound, oscillations, and waves. Volume 2 covers thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, and Volume 3 covers optics and modern physics. This textbook emphasizes connections between theory and application, making physics concepts interesting and accessible to students while maintaining the mathematical rigor inherent in the subject. Frequent, strong examples focus on how to approach a problem, how to work with the equations, and how to check and generalize the result.

In these videos from Spring 2022, Dr. Mahmoud Hammouri in provides illustrative examples for students to use while completing assignments. Examples include: Vertical motion example 1; Vertical motion example 2; Projectile motion example; Try it: projectile motion; Vectors review; Vector addition part 1; Vector addition part 2; Try it: Vectors; Horizontal motion example 1; Horizontal example 2; Try it: horizontal motion; Distance and displacement; Try it: distance and displacement; Newton's 2nd law applications: Example 1; Newton's 2nd law applications: Example 2; Newton's 2nd law applications: Example 3; Newton's 2nd law applications: Example 4 part 1; Newton's 2nd law applications: Example 4 part 2; Work and kinetic energy examples; Loop-the-loop track example; Spring-mass system example; Try it: Mass-spring system; Mass-spring system; Try it: Runaway truck; Solid and hollow spheres sliding without slipping; Atwood's machine; Acceleration of a rolling sphere; Primitive yo-yo; Collision of two pucks

This is the first course in the undergraduate Quantum Physics sequence. It introduces the basic features of quantum mechanics. It covers the experimental basis of quantum physics, introduces wave mechanics, Schrödinger's equation in a single dimension, and Schrödinger's equation in three dimensions. The lectures and lecture notes for this course form the basis of Zwiebach’s textbook Mastering Quantum Mechanics published by MIT Press in April 2022.
This presentation of 8.04 by Barton Zwiebach (2016) differs somewhat and complements nicely the presentation of Allan Adams (2013). Adams covers a larger set of ideas; Zwiebach tends to go deeper into a smaller set of ideas, offering a systematic and detailed treatment. Adams begins with the subtleties of superpostion, while Zwiebach discusses the surprises of interaction-free measurements. While both courses overlap over a sizable amount of standard material, Adams discussed applications to condensed matter physics, while Zwiebach focused on scattering and resonances. The different perspectives of the instructors make the problem sets in the two courses rather different.

Students will oberve nine systems performed by the instructor.  They will then use the four indications of a chemcal change to determine if each system represents a physical or chemical change.  Students will reflect on their learning using the thinking routine - I Used to Think... Now I Think.  

This book is written for upper-division undergraduates and new graduate students in meteorology, ocean engineering, and oceanography. After reading this book, it expected that students will be able to describe physical processes influencing the ocean and coastal regions: the interaction of the ocean with the atmosphere, and the distribution of oceanic winds, currents, heat fluxes, and water masses.

This course covers probability distributions for classical and quantum systems. Topics include: Microcanonical, canonical, and grand canonical partition-functions and associated thermodynamic potentials. Also discussed are conditions of thermodynamic equilibrium for homogenous and heterogenous systems.
The course follows 8.044, Statistical Physics I, and is second in this series of undergraduate Statistical Physics courses.

This is an introductory graduate-level course on the phenomenology and experimental foundations of nuclear and particle physics, including the fundamental forces and particles, as well as composites. Emphasis is on the experimental establishment of the leading models, and the theoretical tools and experimental apparatus used to establish them.
