- Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics - This site may prove useful when you decide which films to watch - look for the ones in which supposedly serious scenes totally disregard the laws of physics. Some insultingly stupid movie physics are so commonplace, they have become visual clichés. Since it’s inception, in 1997, this site has provided a service in the hopes of improving this deplorable matter. As they put it, ‘in the name of physics decency, to protect the minds of children everywhere, so that they may grow up in a world where they know the difference between speed and velocity, we have taken the responsibility to rate movies for their portrayal of excessively bad physics.’

- Physics 2000 - A set of animations (running as Java applets) that are aimed primarily at level three. Titles include Water in a Microwave, Young's two-slit experiment, Feynman's two-slit experiment, X ray emissions, Interactive force field (where the student can move test charges around in an electric field), Television pixel scanning and many more.

- Physics4You - The website of the long-running and well-used series of textbooks includes a number of downloadable PowerPoint presentations, advice on Revision Technique, ScreenSavers and desktop 'Wall-papers' of some of the 'Professor Messer’ cartoon covers of the book and the 'LessonLoader' software for those who have a data-projector. This freeware allows the user to build up a ‘play-list’ of computer files, before using this list to facilitate a presentation. This piece of software will find a myriad of uses throughout the curriculum. The PowerPoint presentations aim to make clear points – ‘Charging by Friction’ and ‘Dispersion by a Prism’ both have clear illustrations and clarity of text. They could find their way into a large number of schemes of work. This site will be particularly useful for people using 'GCSE Physics for You', but will also be useful for anyone teaching or learning Physics.
