Bad Astronomy
As an astronomer, teacher, lecturer and all-around science junkie, I am exposed to all sorts of people and their ideas about what goes on in the sky around them. ... unfortunately a lot of misinformation is spread about astronomy. The Bad Astronomy web pages are devoted to airing out myths and misconceptions in astronomy and related topics.

Classroom Space
Classroom Space is a national project for Key Stage 3 and 4 that aims to revitalise science education in the UK using Space Science and Astronomy. This website is designed to be a teaching resource. You can search for our space-related activities under the various module headings, or look under the appropriate Key Stage to find what we have to offer. Our resources are all linked to the Science National Curriculum, with some also incorporating the Mathematics, ICT and Geography curricula.

HyperPhysics
HyperPhysics (©C.R. Nave, 2002) is a continually developing base of instructional material in physics. HyperPhysics is an exploration environment for concepts in physics which employs concept maps and other linking strategies to facilitate smooth navigation. For the most part, it is laid out in small segments or "cards", true to its original development in HyperCard. The entire environment is interconnected with thousands of links, reminiscent of a neural network.

This site accompanies a series of seven books that provide an introduction to the main ideas and applications of physics. The books have been planned, designed and edited by staff at the Open University, the United Kingdoms largest University and one of the world's major distance teaching institutions. The accompanying books are intended for self-study and therefore provide a greater degree of support than most other textbooks. The first title in the Physical World series, The Restless Universe, is available free and in full on this site
