Free K-12 Physics Curriculum & Olympiad Prep
Build intuition before equations. A complete, story-driven curriculum for Elementary Science, Middle School Physics, and F=ma / USAPhO competition training.
Current Modules: Elementary Units 1–6 (Energy/Gravity), Middle School Unit 1 (Kinematics), and Physics Olympiad Weeks 1–5 (Mechanics).
Physics Curriculum Map & Topics
A comprehensive K-12 science curriculum designed to take students from elementary intuition to AP Physics C mastery.
Why this Curriculum Works
Most textbooks start with math. We start with intuition. This method is proven to help students retain concepts for the F=ma exam and beyond.
Intuition First
We build a mental model of complex topics before introducing the equations.
Visual-First Slides
Slide decks that explain physics topics with visuals and summaries, not walls of text.
F=ma Exam Ready
Sequence aligns with AAPT competition standards to maximize your score on the qualifying exam.
For Teachers & Clubs
Complete lesson plans and quizzes ready for coaching or classroom use.
