This site will be a work in progress, with new pages being added over time.

The material here is meant to correlate with the New York State Intermediate Science Core Curriculum.

If you are from another state, many of the basic ideas and concepts will also correlate to areas of your own state or regional curriculum.

Many of the homework and lab activities are based on the following two sources:

1-Glencoe Physical Science,

2- Cambridge Physics Outlet.

For more information on these sources,just click on their names above.

 The Following Are Some of The Lab Activities We Have Worked on This Year

Adobe Acrobat Reader is needed for the following pdf. files. You can get it free at

*These labs are derived from material from Cambridge Physics Outlet, and as such, require the use of specialized equipment available only from Cambridge Physics Outlet. The equipment and corresponding lab activities are appropriate for middle school through high school. The lab activities are very user friendly, and the equipment itself is durable and gives predictable, and reproducible results. So if the labs themselves look like something you'd want to try, you'll need to contact Cambridge Physics Outlet to get the equipment you'll need.
