From Apples to Orbits : The Gravity Story- http://library.thinkquest.org/27585/ Gravitation (or gravity) is a force of attraction. It is produced by all pieces of matter in the universe and pulls on all pieces of matter in the universe, regardless of matter type. Galaxies produce gravity. The Sun and the planets produce gravity.
The History of Electricity- http://tqjunior.thinkquest.org/6064/history.html In 1660, a German experimenter named Otto Von Guericke built the first electric generating machine. He showed that electricity could be transmitted by using a wet string to conduct electricity several feet. In the early 1700s, several Englishmen published works that described interesting experiments with electricity.
How Things Fly- http://www.nasm.edu/galleries/gal109/ Hot-air balloons and blimps can float in the air thanks to buoyancy, an upward force that the air exerts on them.

Physics Department Museum- http://www.physics.uq.edu.au/physics_museum/index.shtml The Physics Department at The University of Queensland traces its origin back to the very beginning of the University with the appointment in 1911 of Thomas Parnell, M.A. (Cantab.), as lecturer. In spite of the move to St. Lucia in 1955 , many reminders of the early days have survived (largely due to the foresight of a few individuals), to form the nucleus of the collection of instruments, books, and memorabilia which make up the Physics Museum.
Physics from Lampeter-Strasburg- http://www.lampstras.k12.pa.us/hschool/physics/home.html This page\'s goal is to help students gain a better understanding of the laws of Physics. We have investigated the following Laws and Principles of Physics: stress, gravity, bridges and momentum.

The Wizard\'s Lab : Magnetism- http://library.thinkquest.org/11924/emagnet.html Every natural magnet has both a North pole and South pole - a lot like the Earth. A characteristic property of the area around the magnet where it has a magnetic force (magnetic field) is that the magnetic field, or field lines travel from North to South - much like electric current flows from negative to positive. Another characteristic of magnets is that when two magnets attract, the magnets only attract when the North pole of one magnet is beside the South pole of another magnet, or vice-versa.
