Many research-based teaching methods in physics, including Peer Instruction, CAE Think-Pair-Share, Technology-Enhanced Formative Assessment, and teaching with clickers, involve making your class more interactive by asking your students to discuss and answer multiple-choice conceptual questions. One challenge of using these methods is finding and writing good questions. This recommendation helps you find and write questions for your class.

The physics materials listed here are the same as those in the University of Colorado Concept Test database, above.
AAAS Science Assessment page (physics and many other sciences) The assessment items on this website can also be used as clicker questions for middle school through intro university; they are designed to test student understanding and common misconceptions in the earth, life, physical sciences, and the nature of science. Anyone can access these questions.
Clicker Questions for use with PhET Interactive Simulations (physics and many other sciences) Browse through this collection of clicker questions by selecting "MC" for Type. These questions are designed to be used with PhET simulations - a collection of free, research-based interactive simulations that can be downloaded or run online, developed by the University of Colorado PhET team. Anyone can access these questions.
SERC concept test examples (mostly geoscience, some other sciences including physics) A collection of concept tests from the SERC Pedagogy in Action site at Carlton. Anyone can access these questions.
Quantum Interactive Learning Tutorials (QuILTs) clicker questions (physics) A collection of research-based materials for teaching quantum mechanics including clicker questions and clicker question sequences.
Center for Astronomy Education's Instructional & Workshop Materials page (astronomy) Scroll down to the section called "Astronomy Assessment and Think-Pair-Share Questions" for a large collection of questions for an introductory astronomy course. The questions listed under "Exam Banks" are all multiple choice questions that serve as good Peer Instruction questions. Anyone can access these questions.
ClassAction Questions and Interactives from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (astronomy) Over 500 Think-Pair-Share questions for astronomy, most with images and/or animations. Free access, answers provided in auto-feedback feature. Site also has robust set of accompanying labs and interactives.
Chemistry ConcepTests from the University of Wisconsin (chemistry) For General, Organic, Analytical, Inorganic, Physical, and Biochemistry. Also includes explanations on how to use them effectively, and experiences of educators. Anyone can access these questions.
Question resource list from Project MathQUEST at Carroll College (math and statistics) Links to question collections for many college/university level math and statistics courses, links to publications on classroom voting in mathematics, and links to clicker companies.
Good questions are a crucial component of Peer Instruction. Most instructors use some combination of using questions that others have written and writing their own. Here are some suggestions for writing your own:
A set of instructional pages written in an easy-to-understand language and complemented by graphics and Check Your Understanding sections. An ideal starting location for those grasping for understanding or searching for answers.
The Physics Interactives includes a large collection of HTML5 interactive physics simulations. Designed with tablets such as the iPad and with Chromebooks in mind, this user-friendly section is filled with skill-building exercises, physics simulations, and game-like challenges.
Our Video Tutorial provides a video-based alternative to the written Tutorial above. We aim to present relatively short, highly-organized presentations with a strong graphical component on discrete topics. Watch them on our site or follow the links to YouTube. We add videos quite frequently so stop back by if you don't find what you are looking for. Or subscribe to our YouTube channel, tap the bell, and receive notifications when new videos come out.
A large collection of GIF animations and QuickTime movies designed to demonstrate physics principles in a visual manner. Each animation is accompanied by explanations and links to further information.
Have you tried a Concept Builder lately? You should. This growing collection of cognitively-rich exercises will focus student attention on discrete learning goals. Filled with interactive elements, this section is the perfect tool for getting students thinking about the meaning of concepts. Perfect for students and 1:1 classrooms using iPads, Chromebooks, and the like. And for Chemistry types, we've added a large collection of Chemistry Concept Builders.
Minds On Physics - Version 5 is the HTML5 version of Minds On Physics that replaces our App and Legacy versions. Relying on a large bank of carefully crafted questions, Minds On Physics seeks to improve students' conceptions of physics. "MOPs" combines interactive questioning modules with a thorough, question-specific Help system to engage students in an exercise in thinking, reflecting, and learning. Version 5 is our best-yet version of Minds On Physics. There is a fully functional free version and a paid version that integrates seamlessly with our Task Tracker system and offers some rather enticing features.
Version 2 of the Calculator Pad is now available. Our newest version includes >2500 Physics and Chemistry problems organized into >250 ready-to-use problem sets. Numerical information is randomly-generated. An answer box allows students to solve and check their answers. Most problems are accompanied by an audio-guided solution that explains how to solve a similar problem while hilighting the habits that can be adopted for solving any problem. Teachers with Task Tracker accounts can modify problems and problem sets and even create their own problems. Task Tracker also allows teachers to assign problems to their students and track their progress.
Concept Checkers were built to coordinate with the Physics Interactives section of our website. Relying upon our Task Tracker tool to deliver questions, check answers, and track student progress, a Concept Checker is designed to coordinate with an interactive simulation. Use it as a follow-up check to understanding after exploring the simulation. Most sims are accompanied by a Concept Checker. Some sims have Task Tracker code built into the simulation. But not all sims will have a Concept Checker. Concept Checkers can be used with or without a Task Tracker account.
The Science Reasoning Center is our most recent upgrade. This section includes about 70 activities that are perfect for encouraging scientific reasoning skills. Students use science and engineering practices, combined with cross cutting science concepts and core ideas from the disciplines of physics (and chemistry) to analyze phenomenon, experiments, and data presentations. We broke ground in April of 2023; we will continue work throughout the 2023-24 school year.
A variety of question-and-answer pages which target specific concepts and skills. Topics range from the graphical analysis of motion and drawing free body diagrams to a discussion of vectors and vector addition.
Calling all high school juniors: You've trusted The Physics Classroom to help prepare you for that unit exam in physics. Why not trust us to help prepare you for the biggest test of the year - the ACT test? That's right. Let the TPC help you with the ACT.
A collection of classroom ready worksheets for use by teachers with their classes. Pages are synchronized to readings from The Physics Classroom Tutorial and to assignments of The Minds On Physics Internet Modules. And now teachers can purchase The Solutions Guide containing complete answers, explanations and solutions to all worksheets. This is a section of great usefulness to teachers and of little interest to students. The Solutions Guide is available as a Digital Download.
We are building a collection of lesson plans and pacing guides for multiple units for a variety of course types. The lesson plans will provide teachers with a concrete demonstration of how resources at The Physics Classroom can be incorporated into a course. We will also have corresponding pre-built courses available for Task Tracker users that mirror the lesson plans viewed in this section. These pre-built courses allow teachers to easily hit the ground running with their Task Tracker classes. We expect this project to be completed by August 1, 2024. Until then, we will release content incrementally as we complete it. Teachers can tap the link and view samples of what we currently have completed.
