As far as physics simulations go, this is my favorite treasure trove:

Ripple Tank and Analog Circuit Simulator are my favs. I could play for days.
High school physics course notes, with JavaScript simulations

Re: High school physics course notes, with JavaScript simulations
#12I just completed my two year project to build an online website to pair with my 11th grade physics classes. I hope it can be a resource for those learning and teaching physics. I've got some free time this summer so let me know if you have any advice about what else to add.
I'm curious about the Javascript simulations -- which lessons contains those simulations? (I couldn't find any in the few lessons I looked at)
There's a few nice simulations on momentum here: https://landgreen.github.io/physics/notes/momentum/1-intro/i...
And here on gravity: https://landgreen.github.io/physics/notes/gravity/gravitatio...

#14Hmm.. I feel crazy but... is that how atom nucleus' work??? Why does the charge completely "exit" the atom? WTF?

#15I had outlandishly good access to a solid physics curriculum in high school, because (a) I had a teacher who cared deeply about his students and (b) I attended a new and well-funded charter school that had funds to throw at materials.
For all that, our books were still, well, books: dry, static, and squinty-small print.
This approach to teacher's notes (and the obvious care that went into it) would've changed my approach to physics, to learning, and to life, and that's coming from an uncommonly well-resourced background. I can't even imagine what this would do for students with less access.

#16The practice question generation is awesome. Wish I had this in high school.

I just sent it to my kid. You put a lot of good effort into that.

#18nice...have you considered PHET syms ( https://phet.colorado.edu/ )? I also built a CMS-type environment for this type of content. It combines content creation with an IDE to create simulations that can be combined with the content. Here is a static and old version of the software: http://schoolnotez.com/ There are folks interested in creating these types of interactive learning environments, unfortunately it doesn't…
Was going to mention PHET myself. These simulations were amazing when I was studying physics at CU.

What did you use to make the static diagrams, for example on the Newton's Laws page? https://landgreen.github.io/physics/notes/force/1-intro/inde...
The svg is simple and the coordinates are round numbers, so they were probably hand-written:

#20I love this kind of stuff - just a bit envious I didn't have these kind of resources when I was a kid! Javascript simulations are easy to write, and help enormously with visualization. Here's a special relativity simulation I wrote in ~100 lines of code:
