Virtual Classrooms
This is a web site which offers you a lot of help in learning physics.
But what is physics, anyway? As a matter of fact, what is science? When we observe the world around us, a football kicked high in the air being drawn back to the earth, a spinning top that doesn't fall over, a flash of lightning followed in a few seconds by a clap of thunder, we see many mysterious things. But are they really mysterious? Or can we understand them? Well, nature is a wonderful puzzle and the laws of science are the solutions to the puzzle.
Physics is the most fundamental of the sciences. The rest of science starts with physics. So the study of physics is the adventure of understanding nature at its most basic level. It is the unraveling of the puzzle which is nature.
But you will usually solve a puzzle faster if you work as a team with other people, and you will have more fun. This is the way we think physics should be learned: more efficiently and more fun.
So if you take the online courses offered by this web site, you will do a lot of work over the Internet with your classmates solving the puzzles of physics.
But suppose you are not taking our online courses, what then? Well, we can still offer you a lot of help and a chance to collaborate with your classmates in your school, across the country and around the world. Most of what is on our site is free, but there are some services for which we charge a small amount of money.
