This site provides citations on many women in a variety of physics fields, including condensed matter physics, materials physics, fluid dynamics, and space physics. Citations include important contributions to the field, references to works by and about each person, education, positions held, and additional information. Because of funding limitations, this site covers women from the beginning of the century until 1976. For each level, this unit pinpoints what the NCTM and California standards say about data. The unit also points to Web-based data to use in the classroom as well as lesson plans.
Additional links take teachers to courseware and software to use in displaying and analyzing data.
For those of you who don't think polymer and fun should be in the same sentence, step into this Web site. Arranged like a shopping mall with five different levels, the Macrogalleria gives students and teachers a site to explore everything about polymers, from the most basic information about where polymers are used to detailed explanations of making polymers. Models using the Chime plugin will give users an idea of what different polymer chains look like. This site was created to support these audiences at a crucial time in students' development, a time when many students stop achieving at levels they had reached before. This site includes links to other Web sites with classroom resources, stories of successful middle school reform, and fascinating diaries of two middle school teachers who share their challenges and triumphs online every week.
