Lesson 1 is real and open now. Lessons 2–5 are still being written — each is marked coming soon below rather than linking to a page that doesn't exist yet. The list below tries to load live from Notion; if that's not connected yet (or briefly unavailable) it falls back to this same information hardcoded in the page — you'll never see a broken list either way.
01
Start →
Displacement, distance, and units
Scalar vs. vector quantities, SI units, and reading a displacement–time graph.
02
coming soon
Velocity–time graphs
Gradient as acceleration, area under the curve as displacement.
03
coming soon
Equations of motion
Deriving and applying the suvat equations for uniform acceleration.
04
coming soon
Free fall and projectile motion
Independence of horizontal and vertical motion under gravity.
05
coming soon
