Physics Drills: Question Generators

Dear Physics Teachers,

These resources will help your students master Physics subject knowledge and skills. This is a complete set of simulations and worksheet generators. Using this resource, you will save yourself time making as many worksheets as your heart desires.

How often have you had to tell your students that they need more practice at a particular skill or to acquire some particular knowledge in physics? One day, a student asked me a reasonable question: "where can I get additional questions to practise?" From that simple question spawned my idea to create a series of 'drill spreadsheets'. These worksheet generators can be used by teachers or students to generate thousands upon thousands of unique worksheets. Most of the sheets can be customised for differentiation quickly by toggling a few options.

I wish someone had invented and provided this resource when I started teaching. You do not need to wish, here it is. As I create new drill sheets I'll add them here, so you will always be able to come back and get the latest sheets.

Sheets included in this bundle:

And more are added frequently (this list might not be up to date!)

The resources all work with MS Excel and other spreadsheet applications. None of them use VBA or other scripting tools, so they should also work on Macs, Android phones and iPhones, amongst other platforms. I have tested most of the sheets on my Android phone and they work fine (using the free WPS app). In MS Windows, simply press F9 to force Excel to recalculate cells, which chooses new random numbers, changing the questions.

These sheets can be projected or printed to be used for worksheets.
