Middle School Physical Science Resource Center http://www.science-house.org/  middleschool the "Middle School Physical Science Resource Center" begun by physicist John L. Hubisz of North Carolina State University .  The site is a continuation of his study of 12 popular physical science text used at the junior high level.  It boasts over 100 pages of  textbook fallacies and as the site develops further, will even include page by page critiques of additional texts.  It also contains many links to both parent and physics teacher resources

Einstein Quotable


"Understanding of our fellow human beings...becomes fruitful only when it is sustained by sympathetic feelings in joy and sorrow." - Einstein

"It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge" - Einstein

"The true value of a human being is determined primarily by the measure and the sense in which he has attained liberation from the self." - Einstein


Physics Joke:

One day our physics professor was discussing a particularly complicated concept. A pre-med student rudely interrupted to ask "Why do we have to learn this stuff?"

"To save lives." the professor responded quickly and continued the lecture.

A few minutes later, the same student spoke up again. "So, how does physics save lives?" he persisted.

"It keeps the ignoramuses out of medical school," replied the professor.
