0.o interesting, I never considered this approach of using websites to aid VCE subject learning. I get too distracted on the net anyway =(

The major problem with high school physics is that it doesn't involve calculus and so trying to learn concepts on the internet are sometimes rather daunting. It is O.K. if you just want to have an explanation of something i.e. the photoelectric effect but if you want to learn the whole VCE course you're better off just using a VCE physics textbook. VCE isn't the only system that doesn't use calculus to teach physics though other countries are exactly the same.

It would be nice to see some calculus used in physics in year 12 seeing as a majority of people take methods and physics in year 11 and they would learn at least basic calculus which is really all you need in year 12 physics.

counting boxes under graphs ftw?

Ugh don't get me started on that. A list of times I cursed having to do that during year 11 and 12 would make a book 2 volumes thick @ 1500 pages each.

there are also some good exams and worksheets at itute.com
