Thinkwell - AP Physics I

Thinkwell AP Physics I

If your student is ready to accelerate past the basics, Thinkwell Physics I is a calculus-based, college-level course designed to generate momentum in science learning. It’s taught by award-winning professors Steven Pollock (University of Colorado Boulder) and Ephraim Fischbach (Purdue University), whose lessons combine clarity, humor, and enough “Physics in Action” demonstrations to keep curiosity at constant velocity.

Inside this program, your student will orbit through over 140 short video lessons (5–15 minutes each), covering kinematics, dynamics, energy, momentum, waves, relativity, and more. It’s calculus-powered, so bring those math skills along for the ride. Every lesson comes with 1,000+ auto-graded exercises that deliver instant feedback, so concepts don’t just fly off into space.

Your student also gets chapter quizzes, practice tests, a midterm, and a final exam, all with solutions and grading tools. To reduce entropy in your planning, the course includes a 35-week pacing guide, printable illustrated notes, and a glossary with 150+ key terms.

The course is self-paced with a 12-month subscription—meaning your student can take time to reflect, or accelerate, while you track progress through built-in grade reports. Add in a 14-day money-back guarantee, and it’s a formula that balances rigor and reassurance.

Parents often say this is not just high school physics, but a true launchpad for majors in science and engineering. Yes, it’s challenging. Yes, it’s college-level. But with the right preparation in calculus, your student will find himself mastering the laws of motion, conservation, and relativity with confidence.

In short: Thinkwell Physics I is more than a course—it’s a well-designed system that turns energy into learning, momentum into mastery, and a year of physics into a trajectory toward the future.
