I know that if you look it might not seem like much has happened, but I assure you I've put a lot of work into this. Going into this school year I have about 15 simulators, 7 conceptual trainers, 2 practice generators, and 5 teacher tools made. It's no exaggeration to say this is just scratching the

Now that Summer is well under way I have a decent amount of time each day to devote to working on this site. While superficially I know it doesn't look like a lot has changed, but I can assure you that I'm making a lot of nice progress behind the scenes.

Every physics teacher I know goes through the same process, you get a job, you inherit a room that some

I constantly tell my physics students that when you're first presented with a problem, it's very unlikely you'll know exactly what to
