can use at home. Upgrade your lessons and give your
students more practice so they can master physics.
Make sure students begin each unit with a strong understanding of the concepts and equations, so they’ll know how to apply them to problems later on.
- Play videos in class to enhance your lessons
- Have students watch videos before class
- Refresh your own knowledge before a lesson
Once students understand the concepts, show them how to work through example problems step-by-step using a problem-solving method.
- Play and pause the solutions step-by-step
- Let students go back and watch example problems at home when they need to review
Teach the material at your own pace with slides for every video. Use them as-is or incorporate some of the slides and graphics into your own lessons.
- Slides are PowerPoint files that can easily be opened in Google Slides
- Share them with students to review at home
- Print them out for students to take notes
Students can never get enough practice. With over 900 problems and solutions, students can explore different ways to apply the concepts and equations.
- Use them in class or assign them for homework
- Pick and choose problems to add to your tests
- Let students practice specific concepts
An easy way for you and your students to review the concepts and equations for each unit. Use them in class or let students review them at home.
- Review a concept or an entire unit in class
- Share them with students to reference while doing homework or when reviewing for tests
Students can apply what they learned and explore how physics works in the real world with classroom lab activities and virtual physics simulations.
- Use the simulations in class or at home
- Includes labs for each unit from a free lab manual (original labs coming in the future)
If your students get stuck on something after class, they can ask questions in the server and get help from the Physics Lab instructor and other students.
- Includes a dedicated channel for teachers
- Message or email the Physics Lab instructor any time if you have questions or feedback
Whether you’re new to teaching physics, 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 physics 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
Use the flexible resources to upgrade your lessons. Update your slides with new diagrams and explanations, play videos in class, print out study guides for students to review, add new questions to your tests, incorporate lab activities and more.
Give your students more practice questions
There’s no such thing as too much practice. With over 900 practice problems and solutions, your students can explore more ways to apply the concepts and equations. Use them for assignments and tests, or let students practice on their own.
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. Keep every student on track so they don’t develop any gaps and nobody falls behind throughout the year.
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.
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 high school physics 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 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.
Make sure students master every concept
Concepts build on each other and when students have gaps they often fall behind. They can use the videos, study guides and practice problems at home to reinforce what you covered in class and master each concept at their own pace.
Let students learn on their own
The course is designed so that students can learn physics 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.”
"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."
"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.”
"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."

What curriculum does this course cover?
This course covers high school algebra-based mechanics (no calculus). The topics include kinematics (motion), forces, Newton’s laws, torque, rotation, centripetal force, orbits, energy, work, power, momentum, simple harmonic motion, waves, and fluids.
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 physics 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 physics, 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 week of final exams. You can review the material over the summer, while you’re creating new lessons throughout the year, or right before class to refresh your knowledge of the concepts.
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 and labs. 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 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 you plan things out and stay on track. If you watch every video and do every practice 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 a certain concept, you could just spend 30 minutes watching a video and reviewing a study guide.
Are you going to make courses that cover other topics, like electricity and magnetism?
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.
