     Teacher's zone
This is a zone dedicated to physics teachers. News of educational activities and curriculum development in physics can be found on the front page. A discussion forum is in place for teachers to share experience and to grow the friendship. Registered teachers can upload their teaching resources to the question bank for sharing.

The history of physics is a major component of the history of man. This section provides success stories of some famous physicists so that we can appreciate the insights and rationales behind marvelous discoveries.

In this era of science and technology, many teachers begin to use multimedia as a teaching aid. However, appropriate resources are scarce. This section is a collection of IT teaching resources produced by educators worldwide, the Physics World working group and many secondary-school teachers. It contains Java and Flash animations, PowerPoint presentations, physics images and videos, interactive exercises, tryout teaching materials for the new curriculum, and a glossary index .
     Physics Q & A
This is a bank of interesting and classical questions that students often ask. Suggested answers are provided. This collection can serve as supplementary teaching materials in classroom or extracurricular popular science readings for students.

In an easily understood manner, we shall introduce some frontier research topics in physics, the applications of technology in daily life and their influence on the modern society. Teachers can use these resources to widen students' perspective and arouse their interest in learning.

     Useful links
Links to both local and overseas educational sites of physics and science are available here to provide teachers with useful teaching resources and the latest information about education, science, and technology.
