My Top 6 Places to Find Physics Resources
Published May 23, 2024
In this article, I show you my favorite places to find physics resources.
If you're looking for high school, college, and university physics resources, you've come to the right place.
High School Physics Resources for British Columbia
100 High School Physics Problems in 3 Hours
This is a great place to start if you are new to physics or taking high school physics courses in British Columbia.
After online tutoring physics in British Columbia since 2022, I've collected the most common problems and solved 100 of them in 3 hours.
Watch me solve these physics problems in real-time while thinking out loud.
Perfect to study along to.
100 Physics 11 Problems in 3 Hours
The Best Intro to Physics YouTube Playlist Ever
The Organic Chemistry Tutor's YouTube channel is known for having clear and concise math and science videos.
He has an Intro to Physics Playlist that has over 373 videos!
This playlist covers a ton of topics and is great for high school physics and intro physics in college or university.
Working With a Tutor on Physics 11 and 12
Our Physics 11 and 12 problem sets were written by teachers who have taught the BC curriculum, and our tutors work through them with students in sessions.
If Physics 11 or 12 has been a struggle so far, start with our guide on why students struggle with Physics 11/12 in BC, or look at high school physics tutoring if you want to go through it with someone.
College & University Physics Resources
The Heywood Academies Problem Bank
The university physics problems I have developed over the past couple of years to help engineering students are going into our Problem Bank, launching September 2026.
Physics 1 and Physics 2 are both covered, mechanics and energy and momentum through electricity, magnetism, and waves, each problem worked all the way through instead of stopping at the answer. Waitlist members get a free 30-day trial at launch, and joining needs only an email address.
Join the waitlist. If you are headed into PHYS 110 or 111 at UVic, our study guide for those courses is a good next stop.
Free Online University Physics Textbooks
The OpenStax University Physics Textbooks are a great free resource for physics that includes calculus and vectors.
They don't have a ton of questions with solutions, but they have the theory and equations for each section.
Plus they have a set of questions with answers for each chapter.
- Volume 1 covers mechanics, sound, oscillations, and waves.
- Volume 2 covers thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism.
- Volume 3 covers optics and modern physics.
University Physics Videos
I had a hard time finding university physics videos, so I am making my own!
These videos cover harder physics problems with vectors and calculus.
Check out my University Physics Playlist.
Physics I: Practice Problems for Dummies
Despite the title, this book is for really smart people.
It has tons of questions with solutions.
This is a great option for students in 1st year college or university physics.
You can also check your local library to see if they have it there to borrow.
Schaum's 3,000 Solved Problems in Physics
As the title says, this book has 3000 practice questions for physics!
This is a great resource that covers virtually every topic.
Let's turn these resources into real progress in your physics course.
Book a free consultation for high school, college, or university physics, in person around Greater Victoria or online anywhere in BC.
