- Papers in Physics Education Research: 2000
- List includes papers that may be of interest to researchers in physics education and to physics teachers interested in making their classrooms more effective. Papers have been selected that focus on high school or college level physics teaching, though they may occasionally be papers describing work with younger students if they seem relevant. This list includes papers published with calendar dates of 2000.

- Donald Simanek, Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania, Physics Lecture Demonstrations
- Lecture demonstrations for physics courses, compiled and annotated by Dr Donald Simanek. Reads like a storybook.
- 68
- Dramatic Physics Demonstrations
- Physics demonstrations for classroom use. Covers Newton's Laws, Air pressure, heat and other areas. Contains instructions for making many of the demos.
- 69
- Electrostatic Machines
- Construction details and history, with pictures and directions for a wide variety of generators.
- 70
- Industrial Electrostatics Demonstrations
- The project described at this web page was undertaken to develop a set of demonstrations having clear relevance to manufacturing and commercial operations. Some of these demonstrations should also serve to augment the science teacher's or hobbyist's bag of tricks by making it easier to reinforce the relationship between basic principles and practical situations.

- Julien Clinton Sprott, University of Wisconsin - Madison, Physics Demonstrations, A Sourcebook for Teachers of Physics
- Physics demonstrations, descriptions, discussions of the physics, and hazards to avoid. Groupings are light, magnetism, electricity, sound, heat, and motion.
- 72
- 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.
- 73
- Physics Demonstration Resources Online, University of Texas at Austin
- For physics educators interested in developing demonstrations. Provides links to many colleges' demo resources.
