Physics Classroom is making strides to make our site accessible to everyone. Our site contains 6 navigation areas. The Primary, Secondary, and Page Level navigations have a screen reader version of their nav structure that allows using the left and right keys to navigate sibling navigation items, and up or down keys to navigate parent or child navigation items. The others can be navigated using tabs. The Primary Navigation handles the first 2 levels of site pages. The Secondary (which is not always available) handles the 3rd and 4th level of structure. The Page level navigation allows you to navigate the current page's headings quickly. The Header Navigation contains the Light/Dark Mode toggle, Search, Notifications and account login. The Breadcrumb Navigation contains the breadcrumb of the current page. If the current page has a breadcrumb, you can get to it by skipping to the content and tabbing in reverse (shift plus tab). The Footer Navigation contains links such as Privacy, Contact, about and terms. Some resources contain an Audio Player that can be activated by holding down the T key for 3 seconds, and then using K to pause and resume. While not every area of Physics Classroom is usable purely from keyboard and screen reader, we are committed to continue work on making this possible. If you have questions or need additional help, please use this link to contact us.

Position-Time Graphs - Conceptual Analysis

The Position-TIme Graphs - Conceptual Analysis Concept Builder is a concept-building tool that provides the learner with practice relating the features of a position-time graph to the motion of the object. The Concept Builder includes 46 questions grouped into 14 different Question Groups and spread across three different activities. Activity 1 - Words and Graphs - challenges the learner to inspect graph features and identify the line or lines on a graph that are characteristics of a particular type of motion (constant speed motion, changing speed motion, positive velocity, etc.). Activity 2 - Speed Rankings - challenges the learner to look at three lines on a position-time graph for three different objects' motion and to rank the speeds of the three objects from smallest to greatest. Activity 3 - Dots and Graphs - challenges learners to associate a dot diagram with a position-time graph. Question-specific help is provided for each question. Use of this Concept Builder with our Task Tracker system allows teachers to track student progress.
