Whether you’re new to teaching AP® Physics 1, using a flipped classroom model or just looking for some resources to update your lessons, this course has everything you need in one place
Build a curriculum and start teaching
If you’re new to teaching AP® Physics 1 or you just want to revamp your curriculum, you can use the videos, slides, study guides, practice problems and labs to start teaching. Or pick and choose which resources to implement in your curriculum.
Upgrade your lessons
Update your slides with new diagrams and explanations, play videos in class, print out study guides for students to review, add AP®-style questions to your tests, incorporate new lab activities, and make sure you cover everything in AP® Physics 1.
Give your students more practice questions
There’s no such thing as too much practice. With over 900 practice problems your students can explore more ways to apply the concepts and equations. The AP®-style questions are organized by topic so students can practice with them all year.
Keep absent students on track
When a student misses class they can watch videos, review slides and do practice problems at home at their own pace. That way nobody falls behind throughout the year and every student stays on track for the AP® exam.
Use with a flipped classroom model
If you’re teaching a flipped classroom model or want to try it out, have students watch the videos at home before class. Then you can use the study guides, practice problems, labs and your own activities in class to review and help students who are stuck.
Prepare students for the AP® Physics 1 exam
Students can take the practice tests to become familiar with the 2026 AP® exam format and difficulty, and identify which concepts they struggled with. Then they can use the videos, study guides and practice problems to review those concepts.
Replace your textbook
Most students don’t want to read a textbook, so replace yours with videos, study guides and other resources organized in one place. You and your students can access the materials in class and at home, no need to carry a book back and forth.
Save time on your lesson prep
Don’t waste time looking around and piecing together different resources. This course has everything you need for AP® Physics 1 in one place so you can spend less time creating lesson materials and more time teaching.
Review the material before class
You can review the AP® Physics 1 material over the summer, while you’re creating new lessons throughout the year, or right before each class. Refresh your knowledge of each concept and maybe get a new perspective on how to explain things.
Let students learn on their own
The course is designed so that students can learn AP® Physics 1 independently at their own pace. They can watch videos, review study guides and work through practice problems on their own, and you can guide them throughout the year.
Teach your students remotely
If you’re teaching an online class or tutoring students remotely, this course is already formatted for online learning. Students can watch videos, view slides, review study guides, practice solving problems and do virtual labs right on their computer.
Support for you and your students
If your students are stuck on a concept or a physics problem at home, they can ask questions in the Discord server and get help from the Physics Lab instructor and other students. If you have questions or feedback you can email the instructor any time.
"I am going to show your product to as many of my former colleagues in the public schools as I can. I taught in public schools for 37 years and this is the best product I have come across."
“I decided to sign up because the lessons are well-presented and will definitely lessen my preparation time. Our school already provides its own material, but I wanted to explore additional resources. So far, I find this course even more useful than what we currently have.”
"Very useful materials! The study guides are broken down into useful sections with visuals that make the information digestible for students! The videos solving problems are perfect for students who need extra help while at home, and the practice AP section helped my students feel prepared and confident for the actual AP test!"
"I had not taught physics in a long time and felt less than confident even with the textbook my school provided. I initially used this course to brush up on the content and soon recognized what a help it could be for my students. For instance, the videos of the example problems were clear and really clicked with my students. They liked that the diagrams in the study guides often matched what was in the lessons. I liked that my questions were answered every time I emailed the course creator. This physics course greatly enhanced our classroom experience."
"I purchased this course to supplement my curriculum. This course was very helpful for me with excellent study guides, videos, and practice problems of varying difficulty. I would highly recommend this course."

Is this course aligned with the 2025-2026 AP® Physics 1 curriculum?
Yes, this course is aligned with the 2025-2026 curriculum and the 2026 AP® Physics 1 exam. Some of the recent changes include a new fluids unit, connections between circular and rotational motion, and 40 multiple-choice exam questions.
Are the questions similar to the AP® exam?
Students who have taken the AP® Physics 1 exam said that the AP®-style questions in this course are very similar to the actual exam and really helped them prepare for the format and difficulty of the AP® exam.
What are some of the ways that I can use this course?
The course is designed to be flexible so you can use it however you like. The course is organized and comprehensive enough for your students to learn AP® Physics 1 on their own, allowing you to guide and support them through the year. If you’re using a flipped classroom model, students can watch the videos at home before class so you can walk through problems, do activities and answer questions in class. If you’re new to teaching AP® Physics 1, you can start using the materials as-is or use them as one part of your curriculum. If you already have lessons, you can add some of the materials to make them better: videos, slides, study guides and practice questions. Even if you’re not sure how you’ll use the course in class, students can use the course as a studying tool at home to review and reference the material.
When is the best time to start using this course?
The earlier in the year the better, but you can start using this course any time, even the day before the AP® exam. You can review the AP® Physics 1 material over the summer, while you’re creating new lessons throughout the year, or right before class to refresh your knowledge of the concepts. You and your students can use the AP®-style questions throughout the year, and you can use the practice tests leading right up to the AP® exam.
If I only get a teacher license, how am I allowed to use the materials and what can I share with students?
You can use all of the materials in class and share any of the downloads with your own students, but you are not allowed to share the downloads with other people. You can show videos in class, use the slides, print out study guides and practice problems, etc. You can share the slides, study guides, practice problems and other resources with students. The videos can’t be downloaded and are only available on the website, so students will need their own accounts to watch the videos outside of class.
Do my students need their own accounts?
You can purchase a teacher license and use all of the materials in class and share downloads with your students. If you also purchase student licenses then your students can access the full student course outside of class. This allows them to view all of the videos (which requires an account), study guides, practice problems and more all in one organized place so you don’t have to download and share everything yourself.
How much do student licenses cost?
Student licenses are discounted based on the number of licenses being purchased. Please send me an email at chris@physicslab.app if you’re interested in purchasing student licenses.
Can I get a quote or a copy of your W-9 to give to my school? Are there other payment options available?
Yes, please send me an email at chris@physicslab.app and I can send you a quote and form W-9 to be added as a vendor if needed. If you purchase the course yourself you’ll receive an email receipt that you can give to your school to be reimbursed. You and your school can also pay with PayPal, check or another method.
How can I purchase the course for someone else?
If you’re purchasing a license that someone else will be using, you can select “Send as a gift” during checkout and include the email that you want to send it to. That person will receive an email to create an account for free.
How do I access the materials in the course?
All of the materials can be viewed on the website, organized by unit and topic page. You can also download the slides, study guides, practice problems, labs, AP®-style questions and practice tests. Each resource in the course has a download link next to it, but there is also a dedicated page with links to download all of the resources together.
What if I don’t need a full course and just want a few resources?
The course is organized so it’s easy to find the resources that you’re looking for and you don’t have to use the full course. If you’re interested in purchasing individual resources instead, you can find the on the Physics Lab TPT store.
How does this compare to other resources like Khan Academy and YouTube videos?
There are a lot of physics resources online but for some reason none of them seem to cover everything you need for AP® Physics 1 or explain things clearly enough for everyone to understand. That’s why Physics Lab was created. A lot of time and effort goes into producing the Physics Lab content so that the concepts are easy to learn. The videos and study guides include a lot of visuals so things are easier to understand. And it keeps getting better over time! Once you upload a YouTube video you can't change it, and most courses aren't really updated after they're created. All Physics Lab content is continuously updated and improved based on questions and feedback from students and teachers. This course also comes with a Discord server where students can chat with the instructor and other students when they need help.
How long would it take for a student to work through the entire course on their own?
The course is self-paced and includes a pacing guide to help students stay on track. If you watch every video and do every problem over a 9-month school year you might spend about 2-3 hours per week on the course. If you just want to review, it might take about 10 hours to review all of the study guides and 5-6 hours to do the 4 practice tests.
Are you going to make courses for AP® Physics 2 and C?
If enough people are interested then I definitely plan on making more courses in the future! The Physics Lab content takes a long time to make so I don’t have an estimate for when those courses will be available, but if that’s something you would sign up for then let me know!
What is your refund policy for this course?
If you’re not happy with the course, teacher and student licenses can be fully refunded within 30 days of purchase. Refunds for this course will not be available between April 1st and July 1st.
