Making Contributions: An Historical Overview of Women's Role in Physics

Articles of historical significance are taken from 50 years of the American Journal of Physics and The Physics Teacher to compile this physics history collection. 
The book contains 27 articles of interest to physics teachers and students at the high school or college level. All the articles contain references for further reading.

Physics History from AAPT Journals

Physics

IntroductionHuman interest in sports is so widespread that a substantial fraction of the world's population follows progress in events such as the Olympic Games or the World Cup soccer matches. Although sport is neither life threatening nor economically important to most people, about one quarter of most daily newscasts specifically concerns sports. We can safely presume that a substantial fraction of physicists are or have been sports enthusiasts, fans, or participants.

Physics of Sports: Selected Reprints

Sports & Outdoors

From the pages of The Physics Teacher, published by the American Association of Physics, comes this collection of articles on apparatus and ideas for teaching physics. 
Articles concerning mechanics, fluids, and heat; electromagnetism; optics and waves; sound; toys; and others are reproduced. An additional 71 articles describe how to stow-it, do-it, make-it, show-it, and adapt-it.

A Potpourri of Physics Teaching Ideas

Science for Kids

This handbook describes physics experiments that are constructed with only the simplest and least expensive materials: rubber bands, tape, paper clips, chalk, etc. The experiments, though simple, demonstrate fundamental physics laws in a practical way. The experiments are divided into 11 sections: mechanics, properties of matter, hydrodynamics, heat, wave motion, light, sound, atomic and nuclear physics, solid state and crystallography, electrostatics, and magnetism. Each experiment is rated by difficulty level (elementary, high school, or university), and includes many illustrations.
