Built for learners who ask “why?”
Young Mind Physics is a free K-12 science curriculum that bridges the gap between intuition and equations. We help students master homeschool science, AP Physics concepts, and F=ma exam strategy through visual storytelling.
Clarity over coverage
Most textbooks are too dense. We focus on deep understanding of core mechanics, thermodynamics, and optics rather than skimming every topic.
Intuition → Language → Math
See it, name it, then formalize it. The equation is the summary of the physics, not the starting point.
Built for Competition
Lessons are stress-tested by students preparing for the USAPhO and AP Physics 1 exams. If it doesn’t help you score, it’s cut.
Our Learning Method
The “Hook” Question
We start every unit with a real-world scenario—no jargon, just observation.
Visual Patterns
Using graphs and diagrams to reveal the relationships between force, mass, and motion.
Formalizing the Rule
Connecting the concept to standard physics notation and equations (F=ma, E=mc²).
Application & Practice
Solving actual competition-style problems to cement the knowledge.

Who We Are
Derek Hu
I’m a high school student passionate about democratizing physics education. I realized that most Olympiad resources were too dry or math-heavy for beginners, so I built Young Mind Physics to be the visual guide I wish I had.
