Are these AP Physics labs free?
Three labs are free, no sign-up. Pro and Max plans unlock all 92 physics labs across NGSS, AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2, AP Physics C, and elementary K-5.
Which AP Physics topics are covered?
Mechanics (kinematics, forces, energy, momentum), waves and optics, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, modern physics. Each lab maps to AP learning objectives for AP Physics 1, 2, and C.
Do the labs work for NGSS classroom use?
Yes. Each physics lab is tagged with the NGSS performance expectations it supports (HS-PS, MS-PS, K-5 PS), so teachers can plug labs into existing units without re-mapping.
Can students use these labs on Chromebooks?
Yes. Every lab runs in modern browsers — Chromebooks, iPads, Windows, Mac, Linux. The 3D scenes use WebGL and run smoothly on hardware from the last five years.
