This is the official website of the American Physical Society. Here you can learn about careers in physics, find information about upcoming conferences and events, stay up-to-date on the latest physics news, and search for awards and fellowship opportunities.

The American Institute of Physics (AIP) is a "society of society," supporting several physics societies. The AIP publishes several journals, including Physics Today. This website offers a job board, physics news, information for students and educators, and much more.

This website offers the full-text of all three volumes of the Feynman Lectures on Physics, along with corrections to the print editions, and math and physics exercises. You can also check out the Feynman Lectures on Physics, and several other Feynman publications, at the library.

Produced by the American Physical Society, Physics Central offers exciting articles, videos, and activities that demonstrate the physics behind real-world occurrences.

A website of news, job postings, and upcoming events provided by the Institute of Physics.

A website just for physics and astronomy undergraduates, The Nucleus offers databases of summer research opportunities and scholarships, textbook reviews, discussion boards, and more.

"Physics research at NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) includes everything from improving the safety of medical radiation procedures to developing future "quantum information" technologies that generate unbreakable codes. NIST provides the measurements, standards, and technical expertise scientists and industries need to push the limits of the fundamental properties of nature".

Elsevier offers a Certified Peer Reviewer Course for those interested in becoming peer reviewers or for those that are just interested in the process.

This website provides educators with lesson plans and learning materials for elementary and secondary teachers of physics and physical science. This edited site is supported by the American Association of Physics Teachers.

This is the official website of the American Association of Physics Teachers. Here you can find out about conferences and events, look for scholarships, and start your job hunt.

This website provides lesson plans, activities, and more for teachers of quantum physics.

This 11-unit online course in modern physics covers quite a bit, from sub-atomic particle physics, through atomic and molecular physics, to cosmology. Each unit includes text, videos, and a facilitator's guide. Physics for the 21st Century is completely free, and was developed by Harvard Professor of Astronomy and Physics, Christopher Stubbs.

The official website of NASA has it all!

"AstronomyCenter.org is a collection of digital resources for college-level introductory astronomy faculty and students".

Check out the website of the Hubble Space Telescope for new and archived news releases, fascinating images, and useful calculators and charts.
