Step2Step Physics - Mechanics app for iPhone and iPad

Why spend thousands of dollars on a private physics tutor when you can receive the same feedback on your iPad for a fraction of the cost?

"A Winning App - Step 2 Step should be in the electronic backpack of every high school physics student." - www.physicsclassroom.com

LEARN PHYSICS WITH STEP-BY-STEP TUTORING
---------------------------------------
Created by physics teachers to help students prepare for tests, Step2Step Physics - Mechanics walks students through 38 question types, with 4 versions per question type and a total of more than 350 question steps. If a student makes a mistake on a step, they are provided with feedback that is targeted to that specific mistake. This is the same feedback that students would receive if they worked with a private physics tutor.

SIMPLE CONTROLS
----------------
Step2Step Physics employs a variety of intuitive user interfaces designed to encourage “physics thinking”. Some of these include:
• Dragging labels onto a problem statement
• Tapping arrows to choose a direction
• Dragging terms to build an equation
• Typing in a numerical answer, and many more!
