Resources For Physics Teachers

[ZapperZ]

Please post in this thread links and other resources for Physics Teachers and the teaching of physics. The links that I have listed below will be updated and added whenever I have new resources.

The University of Colorado has a series of great Java applets at http://phet.colorado.edu/. As a teacher with minimal lab equipment, these have been great for demos and virtual labs.

There's a wealth of resources here, in various forms. And despite the title, I think it is quite useful for almost all level of pre-college education.
