The comPADRE Collections

ComPADRE creates, hosts, and maintains collections of educational and community resources focused on the needs of specific audiences in Physics and Astronomy Education.

The existing collections support different types of communities and serve as models for future collections.

• Astronomy Center.org - Introductory Undergraduate Astronomy Resources
• The Nucleus - Community Collection for Physics Students
• PER-CENTRAL - Resources in Physics Education Research
• Physical Sciences Resource Center - General Physics and Astronomy Collection
• The Physics Front - Resources for High School and Middle School Teachers
• Physics-to-Go - Informal Education and Outreach Materials
• PTEC - Teacher preparation programs and resources all physics teachers should have
• The Quantum Exchange - Resources in Quantum Physics

• Introductory Undergraduate Physics
• Demonstration and Lab Resources
• Undergraduate Research
• Upper Division Courses
  • Classical Mechanics
  • Electricity and Magnetism
  • Thermodynamics
  • Optics
  • Observational Methods
  • Stellar Astronomy
  • Galactic Astronomy
  • Cosmology

In addition to developing these proposed collections, ComPADRE will continue to forge relationships with other physics and astronomy communities interested in using the web to support teaching and learning.
