All Resources by Class Day

I’ve organized all the resources I have by the class day I use them in my IB 1 and IB 2 course. I work with other teachers to design the course and only feel comfortable sharing resource that I’ve made myself as I want to respect the wishes of the creators. Any gaps in the curriculum can definitely be filled by resources found in the Pretty Good Physics teacher forum.

At the top of each unit I’ve put general resources that students receive at the beginning of that unit. Each class day is organized by the correct order of the activities. Lecture videos are labeled with L(unit number).(lecture number), and worksheets are labeled with W(unit number).(worksheet number). Example: L4.6 is the 6th lecture in Unit 4. Homework assignments are written as HW(number of the assignment). “Worksheet” here applies to any assignment that involves a paper component, including labs & inquiry activities. P1 stands for Problem 1 and is a video where I solve through every odd numbered problem of the assignment as a worked example for students to follow.

For the homework we use UT Austin’s Quest program. I will list the question IDs in the homework links. When homework appears in a class day, it means the student now has enough information to answer every question.

This is an ongoing project and will take me some time to completely fill out. If you need any specific resources please feel free to email me at AndyMasley@Gmail.com.

All my video lectures are organized by IB topic here and can be found on my Youtube channel.

Note: I teach on a block schedule so each class day is 90 minutes.
