please explore. Let me know if you find something fun or useful!     Additional Internet Links 

  My personal site: this is basically a mirror site of Teacherweb, but not

updated quite as frequently. It does, however, have more documents. The

Irvington folder has MSWord files for labs and some homework, which will

download faster than their rich-text-format equivalents available here. http://www.geocities.com/yo_maestro/        Glenbrook HS's physics website.

Excellent explanations and animated illustrations of physical concepts. http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/phys.html        Paul Hewitt's Conceptual Physics site. An excellent place to go for

conceptual explanations of all areas of Physics. My class notes and the
