Interactive physics

Physics lessons where students get their hands on the physics: drag, pick scenarios, pause and check the numbers. Each lesson is a single page that opens on a phone or a computer, with nothing to install.

How each lesson works

Simulation

Every step has a drawing that responds to the controls. The numbers on screen use the same formulas as the text.

Let's discuss

Questions that ask you to try things: "double the mass", "cut the string", "pause and check".

Exercises

10 per step (4 basic, 4 intermediate and 2 challenge), with the solution hidden until you click.

Wrap-up

At the end, challenges that mix the steps, five ENEM-style questions (ENEM is Brazil's national secondary-school exam) with pointers to real past papers, and a box with every formula in the lesson.
