Optics for Kids
With a series of questions and answers the site takes the user from basic light principles to lenses in glasses and telescopes, and lasers. There are useful links and an optics glossary.
Imaginary Explanations
The peculiar aspects of quantum spin measurements in EPR-type experiments can be regarded as a natural extension of the principle of special relativity. This article looks at the mathematics of this ...
Submarines: How They Work
. In order to travel underwater, submarines must function in agreement with some key laws of nature, including Archimedes' Principle and Boyle's law.
Aspirator
A common device which makes use of the Bernoulli principle is the aspirator. Attach it to a tap and watch how the flow of water can suck air out of an object attached to the other end!
