Chemistry and Physics Primers

Strengthen your students’ foundational knowledge for success in university or college

With the shortened school year, you may be concerned that students have weak or lacking prerequisite knowledge as they enter first-year physics and chemistry.

You can help students not only recognize the areas they struggle with but also strengthen them with the Physics and Chemistry Primer, a series of tutorials that gives students practice on the necessary foundational skills they need to succeed in post-secondary courses.

Physics Primer

Physics Primer uses videos, hints, and feedback to refresh students’ math skills in the context of physics and prepares them for success in the course.

These tutorials can be assigned before the course begins or throughout the course as just-in-time remediation in Mastering Physics. They ensure students practice and maintain their math skills, while tying together mathematical operations.
