The Physics Classroom » Concept Checkers




What is a Concept Checker? A Concept Checker is an interactive questioning tool designed to allow students to check their understanding of a concept that we hope has emerged from an online activity such as a Physics simulation. But that's just our way of describing it. Why don't you check them out yourself and see what you think of them?

   

Concept Checkers for the Physics Interactives

We currently have Concept Checkers for the following topics:
 




Note: An * indicates that Task Tracker code is built directly into the Physics Interactive and a Concept Checker is not needed.
