Science links - physics & physical science

• Antimatter: Mirror of the Universe - Learn about antimatter from experts at Swiss-based CERN, the largest particle physics lab in the world. Gather basic knowledge at “Kid’s Corner” before exploring “Everyday Antimatter,” “The Antimatter Factory,” “The History of Antimatter,” and “Live Webcasts.”
• Energy Information Administration , an independent statistical agency within the U.S. Department of Energy, makes vast amounts of energy-related information available through this site. Statistics and analyses can be found on both energy sources in common use and those with potential for playing a role in the world's energy future, including renewable sources and nascent "alternative fuels".
• FermiLab - Run by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science, the researchers at FermiLab strive to answer questions about basic physics in the science of matter, space, and time. Click physics at FermiLab for descriptions of experiments that involve accelerators, collision events, and astrophysics. Particles Matter: Physics at High-Energy is an interactive timeline that explores the physical laws that make our universe more understandable. The Education section has lesson plans and online professional development opportunities. In addition, The FermiLab Library offers extensive research assistance.
• Greatest Engineering Achievements of the 20th Century - The Greatest Achievements project was initiated by the National Academy of Engineering to celebrate a remarkable century of technological achievement. At this website, explore their list of the top 20 achievements of the 20th century and learn how engineering shaped this century and changed the world.
• Physics 2000 - The brainchild of Martin Goldman, physics professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder, this interactive site introduces the world of twentieth century science.
• Physics Central - Physics Central is a service of the American Physical Society, an association of more than 45,000 physicists. This site spotlights the ways physics affects our world. Physics Articles introduces real physicists and their work, displays fascinating images, and presents current research. Physics Projects provides 12 unique resources including a PhysicsQuest for middle school students, the award-winning move Einstein’s Miracle Year, Physics@Home, which defines scientific terms, and the Century of Physics Timeline.
• Robots & us - Aimed at grades two through eight, this site, from  the Science Museum of Minnesota, helps students explore the low-life labs to find out how scientists use the study of insects, such as ants and cockroaches, to uncover ideas on how to build robots and make them move. Fascinating video clips of prototypes and directions for creating a mechanical jitterbug are included.
