Learn General Physics The Easy Way

Physics help with our award-winning interactive physics learning tutorial featuring quizzes with feedback, simulations, and other exercises to help with difficult topics in physics such as vectors, quantum mechanics, kinematics, Newton's law, nuclear theory, and electromagnetic theory. General Physics is ideal for AP high school and university learning.

Target audience

The material in this program is geared towards students studying Physics at the High School and Advanced Placement level.

Users: teachers

Use the power of interactive multimedia to motivate your students and provide them with a clearer understanding of ideas that were once more difficult to explain.

Promote the idea of more frequent individual study among your students and encourage them to explore various concepts and topics at their own pace.

The many 3-D animations facilitate the explanation of complex ideas and provides students with helpful visual representations.

Non-lionear structure of the tutorial allows you the option of easily skipping to desired sections.

Give your students access to multimedia learning tools that can help your online course environments go beyond simply posting comments and communicating with others.

Accompany in-class lectures with a display of both graphics and text by using a conventional overhead projector. This can be easier and more effective than writing notes on a blackboard.

MCH tutorials contain many good ideas for possible exam questions

Users: Students

As a student, your main goals are to develop a comprehensive understanding of the central ideas in your chemistry and physics classes, and of course to get good grades. Our programs can be used as a great study and review tool for midterm and final exams.

The review sections are excellent for brushing up on previously learned concepts

The holistic overview of the subject matter helps put new ideas into a meaningful context.

The interactive excercises allow you to truly engage and immerse yourself in the information. You can actively construct your own body of knowledge.

The visual representations can provide you with an additional way of understanding some of the most challenging academic content you will encounter in your academic career.

Quizzes and feedback provide you with an opportunity to assess your learning progress.
