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.
While most of the site is geared towards student learning (tutorials, interactives, etc). We also have a small collection of other student tools for your usage.
The ACT Test Center contains about a dozen passages that resemble the types of passages found on the ACT test. Each passage includes questions that would be similar to those asked upon an ACT test. Additionally, an Answer Guide is available for each passage. The Answer Guide provides answers and detailed explanations for each question. It also includes information about the ACT Test, Practice and Preparation Tips, and Descriptions of Other Resources where you can get additional help.
Additional resources are intended to assist in learning basic physics principles. They include 37 Graphing Problems, 7 Recognizing Forces problems, 11 Vector Direction and 12 Vector Additional problems.
