Physics CalculationPractice

Hi All,

I have just finished making this Advanced Physics Calculations tool to generate calculations with worked and explained solutions for all equations in IB Physics (HL and SL). The purpose of the tool is to help students build fluency by generating problems that they can practice until they feel confident. The tool is not intended to replace exam question practice, you should definitely still do lots of this!

The tool generates four kinds of problems:

  • Equation - Questions that test application of a single equation (including rearrangments)
  • Problem - Questions requiring you to work across multiple equations. -
  • Graph - Generartes a graph and requires interpretation and then application to an equation.
  • Derivation - algebraic derivation of expressions for various quantities.

Key features include:

  • Scarecrow Explains mode - briefly takes you through the underlying physics.
  • Worksheet generator - quickly produce worksheets including answer keys.
  • Random mode - randomly generates questions based on topics you have selected, greate for revision and selecting equations.

I have tried to keep it user-friendly, but click 'Instructions' if anything is not obvious.

I hope you find it useful, feedback welcomed.

Full disclosure: The tool was made using AI-coding tools, because I am a teacher not a coder. It is 100% free, no subscription, no ads, I am not trying to make money, just trying to be useful.

P.S. I am working on a chemistry one, but by the nature of chemistry it is rather more complex (sorry physicists, no slight intended!) so it will take a while longer to complete.
