How Physiworld Works

Learn through simulations

You do not read about a law here, you run it. Change the mass, the force, the temperature, and watch what that does — then the formula arrives as the shorthand for something you have already seen happen.

Prove it in practice

Every mission asks you to predict before it lets you run anything. Getting it wrong is the part that teaches, so each answer comes back with the full working — not a score, an explanation.

Review until it sticks

The thing you got wrong comes back — days later, when you have almost forgotten it, which is exactly when remembering it makes it stick. You do not have to plan any of that. And when a question still makes no sense the second time, Kelvin, the built-in AI tutor, will take it apart with you.

Rise to the daily challenge

One new problem every day, and a leaderboard of people working through the same one. It is there because coming back tomorrow is what turns an afternoon of curiosity into actually knowing physics.

What people say about physiworld

Physics that finally makes sense

For students, teachers, and anyone curious about physics

"Something like Duolingo but with physics. It was boring for me in high school — this actually got me interested."

Priya — GCSE student

"I’ve always hated learning physics, but this actually makes it easier — kind of fun, even."

Daniel — IGCSE student

"Genuinely impressed with how engaging it is and how simple it was to pick up. Definitely using it again."

Marcus — AP Physics student

"Feels way more put-together than I expected. I’m not even into science and I still learned something in the first few clicks."

Sofia — Learning for the fun of it

"A genuinely good way to teach physics — wish something like this existed when I was in school."

James — Physics teacher

"A bit like Brilliant, but more specific about physics. Feels just like the lab simulations from my physics labs."

Aisha — Undergrad physics student

"I was skeptical of anything game-like, but my son actually asks to practice now — that never happened with his old worksheets."

Karen — Parent

"I dropped physics at sixteen and always regretted it. I do a mission on the train home now. There’s no exam at the end — I just wanted to finally understand the thing."

Elena — Software engineer

"The simulations are pretty fun — solid for a free physics site."

Jayden — NGSS student

"I hadn’t touched science since school and assumed that ship had sailed. Started with why ships float, actually, and then just kept going."

Chloe — Nurse

"Quick, simple problems that help me step up to the harder ones my professor gives out."

Ravi — Undergrad physics student

"Didn’t expect an interactive tool to make physics feel this engaging. Using it for my studies now."

Maya — NGSS student

"I opened it to help with her homework. Three weeks later I’m two topics ahead of her and she’s not pleased about it."

Omar — Dad, learning alongside his daughter

"I tutor a few students after school and started pointing them here for extra practice — saves me writing worksheets."

Oliver — Private tutor

"I watched a documentary about black holes and got annoyed that I couldn’t follow it. You can find yourself just browsing away here — there’s a lot to go through."

Hannah — Retired, finally has the time

"I haven’t seen many interactive physics websites. Pretty cool concept."

Ethan — High school student

"Saved it for my A-level physics revision."

Grace — A-level student

"I’ve wired houses for eleven years and never properly understood why any of it works. The circuit simulation cleared up something I’d been fudging the whole time."

Noah — Electrician

"Love it. Keep up the good work."

Freya — GCSE student

Frequently Asked Questions

Where Physics Comes Alive

For the curious and the examined alike.

What is Physiworld? +
Physiworld is a free, interactive way to learn physics — built for anyone who has ever wondered how the world works, whether or not there is an exam at the end of it. Instead of reading about a law, you run it: change the force, the mass, the temperature, and watch what that does. It covers motion, gravity, fluids, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, nuclear and astrophysics, and it is improved constantly from what learners and teachers send back.
Do I need to be good at physics or maths to start? +
No. You need to be curious, and that is the whole entry requirement. Every topic opens with a question you can answer from everyday life — why ships float, why the Moon does not fall down — and the maths arrives only once you already know what it is for. People start here having never passed a physics test in their life. If you can read this sentence, you can learn physics.
I'm not studying for an exam — is Physiworld still for me? +
Yes, and you are not an edge case. Plenty of people here are not sitting anything: adults who dropped physics at school and regret it, people who got curious after a documentary, students years away from an exam, and teachers raiding the simulations. Nothing is locked behind picking a syllabus. Start a mission, play with the simulation, and stop when you have had enough — your progress is kept either way.
How is Physiworld different from other physics sites? +
Most of them hand you a page to read. Here the simulation is the lesson: you predict what will happen, run it, and see your own prediction drawn against what the physics actually did. Being wrong is the part that teaches, so it is built into every mission rather than hidden at the back of a chapter. Kelvin, the built-in AI tutor, is there when a result makes no sense to you.
Is Physiworld free to use? +
Yes. Every lesson, every simulation, every quiz and the full XP, streak and leaderboard system are free with an account, and no card is asked for at any point. The first mission runs with no account at all. Physi+ is an optional upgrade that adds full mock exams, theory papers with marked answers, and open access to every challenge in any order.
How does the XP system work? +
Finishing a lesson, a quiz or a challenge earns XP, which builds a level, a streak and a place on the leaderboards. It exists for one reason: coming back tomorrow is the thing that actually makes physics stick, and a number that goes up is better at getting you back than good intentions are.
Can I use Physiworld to study for exams? +
Yes — IGCSE, GCSE, AP Physics 1 or an NGSS-aligned course. It builds the understanding first and the exam technique on top, which is why the questions still work when a paper asks something you have never seen before. Quizzes come with a worked solution for every answer, missed questions come back on a review schedule, and Physi+ adds full mock exams and theory papers.
Does Physiworld cover IGCSE, GCSE, AP Physics 1 and NGSS? +
Yes. The quizzes cover the complete Cambridge IGCSE Physics (0625) syllabus, each question tagged Core or Supplement so you practise exactly what your tier is examined on. The same concept-first material maps onto GCSE, AP Physics 1 and NGSS-aligned courses — there is a syllabus map for each, showing every section against the lesson that teaches it.
Physiworld is an independent study resource and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or involved with Cambridge Assessment, the College Board or Achieve, Inc. AP® is a trademark of the College Board; NGSS® of Achieve, Inc.
Can teachers use Physiworld in the classroom? +
Yes, and it is already used from high school to introductory college level. The simulations hold up on a projector for live demonstrations. Create a free account, make a class from your profile, and share one code — no approval step, and you see each student's level, weekly XP, streak and hardest topics, never their email or real name.
