Occasionally, you will find instructions in Pearson Physics that direct you to the PhysicsSource website. This page has been developed so that you can quickly and efficiently reach safe, reliable, and continuously updated resources.
All the resources are correlated to the Pearson Physics pages for your convenience - you may simply scroll this page to find the relevant page number.
How to narrow your search:
To offer you a greater selection of resources, this page has many supplementary resources that are not directly referred to in Pearson Physics. You can differentiate between text-recommended essential and supplementary resources whenever you see the yellow highlighted colour code:
This page lists only the text-recommended essential resources, click the "List All Unit Resources" button in the "Narrow Your Search" menu to the right to see all available resources.

Fireworks - more than just explosions and pretty colours!
Uniform Motion - determine the velocity of an object based on the shape of its displacement graph. Note: the simulation software Interactive Physics (IP) is required for this activity.
Download the zip archive - Uniform Motion (the archive contains Interactive Physics files, guides in pdf and word format, and a "Read Me" text file. It is recommended that you start with the Read Me file).
Jet Take-off - calculate displacement, velocity, and time for a complex simulation (multiple accelerations), and relate the graphs of an object's motion with the results derived from kinematic equations. Note: the simulation software Interactive Physics (IP) is required for this activity.
Download the zip archive - Jet Take-off (the archive contains Interactive Physics files, guides in pdf and word format, and a "Read Me" text file. It is recommended that you start with the Read Me file).
Acceleration Due to Gravity - use a picket fence in this eLab to accurately determine the acceleration due to gravity.
