-
NEXUS/Physics -- A web page from the University of Maryland that makes available a number of readings, homework, and group activity problems appropriate for an introductory physics for lifescientists class.
-
Introductory Physics for the Lifesciences Wiki (Mark Reeves, ed.) -- a community collaboration developed by the faculty community working to reform introductory physics for the life sciences courses (IPLS) to better prepare students for careers in medicine and the life sciences
- Kansas State University PER: Modern Miracle Medical Machines -- Educational research & development on the application of contemporary physics to medical diagnosis & treatment.
- Doane College: Humanized Physics Project -- Resources to help physics teachers use the human body as a context for teaching physics at the introductory level.
- Physical Science Modules for Bioscience Students -- from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln.
- Centenary College, LA (Juan Rodrigues): BPHY 304 -- Biophysics and Bio-imaging -- Includes an online textbook.
- Intermediate Physics for Medicine & Biology, 4th ed. (Russ Hobbie) -- Contains many useful resources including links to websites and peices from various editions of the book.
- Portland State U., OR (Ralf Widenhorn): PH337/BI410 -- Physics in Biomedicine
- Harvard U. (L. S. McCarty & V. N. Manoharan) Physical Sciences 2: Mechanics, Elasticity, Fluids, and Diffusion.
- The Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB): Biomechanics (Steve Vogel & colleagues) -- Includes many serious biomechanical lessons, labs, homework & exam problems, and texts.
- Resources for Teaching Biological Physics (Suzanne Amador-Kane, Haverford) -- Includes a long list of texts, readings, and some labs.
- PhET Interactive Simulations in Biology (University of Colorado, Boulder) -- Part of a large library of STEM simulations. Biological simulations have heavy physics leaning.
- Physics for Life Sciences Project Instructor Resources (Dawn Meredith and Jessica Bolker -- University of New Hampshire) -- A small library of lessons, clicker questions, and labs for an introductory biophysics course.
- Paul Falstad's Simulation Library -- A library of physics and math simulations. Little or no explicit connection to biology, but could be valuable for illustration of biologically relevant physics.
- Flocking Simulation -- A computer sim complete with code and extensive explanation of how complex flocking behavior can arise from a few simple rules. Allows for the presence of a predator (modeled by the motion of the mouse on-screen). This phenomenon is also studied by Suzanna Amador-Kane using very different, empirical techniques: link.
- AAPT Workshop IPLS Labs -- Three labs dealing with ECG/EKG, bone scaling, and Brownian motion & diffusion.
- Physics 7 (UC Davis - Wendell Potter) -- A model-based approach to teaching physics for biology majors
- Electricity, Magnetism, and Optics with Biomedical Applications (Physics 4L) materials (Swarthmore College — Catherine Crouch) -- materials for teaching optics, electricity, and magnetism in IPLS.
