Physics Practice
v 1.3 for small-screen Macs

The software, available commercially, consists of 36 challenging revision lessons covering basic ideas in typical senior physics courses. The lessons are presented as HYPERCARD stacks.

Each lesson takes an average student at least half an hour to complete. Each question is on a screen separate from the solution. You will be able to go easily from question to solution and back again so that you give yourself hints as you attempt the problems.

The problems are carefully graded so that the first questions in each lesson are easy and encouraging. There are some process questions as well, ones that require interpretation of graphs and diagrams.
