IIHS in the Classroom - https://classroom.iihs.org/

We’re probably most well-known for crash testing vehicles and issuing safety ratings, and our new website, IIHS-HLDI in the Classroom, is designed to apply physics and biology concepts to understanding what’s happening in a car crash and why some vehicles are safer than others.

The completely free site features videos and hands-on activities developed with the University of Florida College of Education and educator Griff Jones, Ph.D. The materials are a great way to augment lessons on things like energy, inertia, impulse, and momentum.

Nice Online Graphic Energy Resource - https://www.saveonenergy.com/how-energy-sources-work/

This is a tool to help explain how a variety of energy sources work.  There are nice animations and written descriptions to accompany them.  The science appears to be sound.  Have a look - these could be very useful in our classrooms!

PhySciMANICS - https://physcimanics.blogspot.com/

PhySciMANICS is a free, S.T.E.A.M. based project magazine for future inventors & junior engineers. Feel free to include these junior engineering projects as a free, core or supplemental  resource for your physics, science and mathematics academic programs.
