PhysicsLAB is an educational website created in 1997 by Catherine Colwell, a physics teacher at Mainland High School in Daytona Beach, Florida. The website teaches students across the country about physics, using "resource lessons", "worksheets". The sister website of PhysicsLAB is AlgebraLAB, a site designed to teach algebra and geometry.

Resource Lessons
