How to Navigate Physical Reality

It's simple. Links to the four main sections of the site (and a few other important pages) are at the top of every page. This navigation bar does not change from page to page.

If you click on a section, a menu of subsections appears on the right. These links are specific to that section and do not change from page to page within that section.

A page might be broken up into easy to read sections. You can jump to these sections by clicking on the section's name at the top of the page. Also, a page might link to other related pages.

A Guide for Teachers

This is the main purpose of Physical Reality: To show students how very fascinating physics is, and to develop in them a thirst to learn more independently.

Use Physical Reality in the classroom to supplement your class lectures. Use the interactions and illustrations to allow your students to go beyond the textbook and recieve a working knowledge of the subject matter.

Physical Reality is a website built around the idea that students will learn if they are interested in the subject material. Physics is a broad field, so why are physics textbooks often dry and boring? If there are so many fascinating things about physics, why aren't the physics classrooms packed with curious students? Because they don't know how cool it is!

A Guide for Students

Have fun. If you like what you learn, there's a whole lot more where that came from. On the credits there are lots of links to the resources we used to build this site. Those resources are full of much more information about the topics covered here.
