Phab Physics is a complete AP Physics 1 course companion: daily printable handouts, matching online homework, and a teacher dashboard. Here's how the pieces fit — in about five minutes.
Each unit is broken into days that mirror real lessons. A day has a guided problem (an interactive simulation worth +4), plus auto-generated Easy/Medium/Hard problems toward a 10-point daily goal. Every student gets different numbers, with instant feedback and hints.
Every day has a printable handout — warm-up, guided notes, classwork, homework. The handout's "Paper Practice" pairs with that day's online problems. Unit tests and answer keys are locked to teacher accounts; everything else is open.
Create classes with join codes, watch a per-student progress matrix fill in by unit and day, configure point requirements per class, and export to CSV/Excel for your gradebook. Only you can see your students.
