Learning modes

More than one way to learn Physics.

Students do not all learn the same way, and one topic can need explaining twice. Maxwell offers several connected ways to work through Physics without losing learning history.

Ways to work

Choose the mode that fits the moment

Personalised tutoring

Ask a question in text or by voice and work through the reasoning step by step.

Step-by-step lessons

Follow a structured route through a topic when starting from scratch.

Exam practice

Practise structured questions that expect working to be shown.

Quick quizzes

Short checks that confirm whether a topic has landed.

Formula practice

Rearranging and applying equations until they feel automatic.

Interactive Physics

Change a variable in a simulation and see how the behaviour responds.

Teacher assignments

Complete work set by a teacher, including simulation-based investigations, in the same place.

Response types

Answer the way Physics is actually assessed

  • Written explanations
  • Calculations with working shown
  • Diagram drawing with editable vectors and labels
  • Interactive graph responses
  • Simulation-based investigation responses

Graph responses are plotted with labelled axes and units, as shown in the illustrative Hooke's law example below.

Continuity

Pick up where you stopped

Learning history is kept, so a student can return to an unfinished topic or revisit an explanation later instead of starting again.

Meet Maxwell

Maxwell helps students talk through difficult ideas, practise Physics and continue from where they stopped.

Students can plot points, configure axis labels, units and scale, and draw or adjust a line of best fit before explaining their reasoning.
