Lessons of Phyz advantages:
- A heavy font ensures high legibility even in dim lighting.
- Questions are designed to be answered while the video plays—quick, simple responses keep students engaged without requiring deep reflection that would take them out of the presentation.
- Question types are mixed: fill-in-the-blank, multiple choice, and short answer are common; in some cases, matching or simple illustrations are involved.
- I am a classroom teacher; I designed these resources for use with my own students.
- If you find competing products online, by all means check them out. They may be cheaper; they may be free. None of them will be as professional, polished, or classroom-ready as this one.
Spring 2020 UPDATE: In addition to the printable PDFs of the student blanks and answer keys, a Google Docs version of each student document now included for easier distance learning use.
