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.

Physics Classroom's mission is to make learning phun and affordable, and we have time and time again put teachers and students over profits. We haven't raised prices yet (over 6 years), but with increasing hosting costs and inflation we are very close to not bringing in enough to cover expenses. We are looking for your help! Do you know Physics or Chemistry teachers who have never discovered Physics Classroom? Would you be willing to provide some points of contact and a message so we can reach out personally to them and show them the great tools and resources our site has to offer?
Each one of these we will personally write an email to and invite them for a free demo. We greatly appreciate any referrals so we can keep prices frozen.
