From Flashcard Exchange, find over 90 flashcard sets for testing knowledge in geology, astronomy, oceanography, and meteorology. Available in an html and java format, the cards won't tap higher order thinking skills and some of the flashcard answers lack depth; still, this site is a quick way to gauge subject matter mastery. It is also a good site to have brighter students critique: what is wrong with a flashcard answer and why? Flashcards are also available for the humanities, languages, and the humanities.

The University of Virginia offers a new videotape-based distance learning physics course for physical science and physics teachers. PHYSICS 609--Galileo and Einstein, can be used toward certification in physics and may be transferred into the University of Virginia Master of Arts in Physics Education program. Lectures and demonstrations on how the natural world developed are part of each video. Case studies will focus on Galileo Galilei, first to appreciate the importance of experiment, and Albert Einstein, first to realize time is not absolute and mass can be changed into energy. Problem sets and exams are submitted via WebAssign, a web-based homework delivery and grading system. The course runs from March 2003May 2003.
