What's NEW at The Physics Classroom?
We've been at this task of providing students, teachers, and classrooms high-quality, ready-to-use resources for a long time. And we are as passionate about it now as we were 29 years ago when we started. We are always working on something new. But it is such a big website that the new additions often get nested deep inside of a section and are never noticed for months or even years after being published. So we're aiming to fix that problem with this page of announcements. Visit this page to find out about our most recent additions. And check back often in anticipation of finding new surprises.

Chemistry Tutorial: Capillary Action
April 4, 2025
Friday Fixes:
We have made a couple of edits this week. Here's a summary:
- Concept Builders: pH and pOH: There were some complaints about the Wizard level. One of the questions had a table cell with a hydronium concentration of 0.25495 ... M (as an example). That's how we keyed the answer (our usual strategy). Classrooms that honor significant digits would enter 0.25 M as the answer. The answer ended up being marked wrong because it was beyond the 2% rule we use to evaluate student input. Of course there'd be other issues if we keyed 0.25 as the answer. So our solution was to re-do all the tables so that there were a minimum three significant digits on every answer. Our 2% rule works fine with three significant digits.
- Concept Builders: pH and pOH: Our Apprentice Level tables were mis-positioned relative to the answer input fields. So we fixed it again. Version 2.0.2 has the final fix. (We hope.)
- Concept Builders: Mass on a Spring - Frequency and Period: There was a question in the Wizard level that had a mass vibating on a spring. Fortunately, it is now vibrating on a spring. That's one less spelling error at The Physics Classroom.
April 2, 2025
Chemistry Tutorial: Surface Tension
We have completed the third of five total pages in Lesson 2 of

NEW Section - Conceptual Physics Course Package
This is HUGE. And we are so excited about it. We have just published a
quiet project that we hope will make a lot of noise. We have been working quietly on this project over the past several months. We have put together a collection of Think Sheets and Student Lab Sheets on 12 broad Physics topics and packaged it together as a downloadable product. The intent of this Course Package is to support teachers tasked with the duty of teaching a "Conceptual Physics" styled course. For those who have only taught College Prep Physics, Honors Physics, and AP Physics, the idea of a lower-leveled Physics course is quite foreign. But we've done it. Many times. Let us help. Check out our

Conceptual Physics Course Package
This past summer we put together
Lesson Plans and Pacing Guides and Pre-Built Task Tracker courses for three levels of Physics. In the process, we recognized a need to produce a set of materials to support teachers who are committed to a Conceptual-Physics styles course. This would include Physics First teachers and teachers who are in a school that offers a thrid level of Physics and teachers in schools who have come to recognize that the an algebra-emphasized Physics course is not meeting their students' needs. We are putting together a package of materials that we feel will suitably meet the needs of such teachers. We are currently on the 8th unit of 12 total units. We are calling it the Conceptual Physics Course Package. We will have much more to say about it as we approach the completion date. For now, we have updated information about the package that appears in the Conceptual Physics area of our
Lesson Plans and Pacing Guides section. Beginning this coming week, we will be taking a break from production to turn our focus back to the Chemistry Tutorial for another chapter of Chemistry. We still expect to have the project completed by April or May of 2025.
