• Physics Behind Four Amazing Demonstrations, Skeptical Inquirer - Physics theory behind four dramatic demonstrations: walking on broken glass, dipping one's fingers in molten lead, breaking a concrete block over someone lying between beds of nails, and picking up an orange-hot piece of silica tile.
• Physics Demonstration Resources Online, University of Texas at Austin - For physics educators interested in developing demonstrations. Provides links to many colleges' demo resources.
• Physics Demonstrations and Science Exhibit Designs - Bill Beaty's Science Hobbyist site. Includes many links to his and other demonstration sources.
• The Physics Question of the Week, University of Maryland - Each week a new question will be posted and the answer for the previous Question of the Week will be shown. The questions involve real experimental physics, so part of the answers will be photographs and short videos of the experiments carried out in determining the results.
