Essential General Skills
Each skill includes a lesson, worked example, assessment, real-life task, and adaptive game. Two correct answers raise the challenge; one miss lowers it.
First-Principles Thinking
Break a problem down to what you know is true, then rebuild the answer — instead of copying how it's usually done.
- Ask 'what is this really made of?'
- List the basic facts.
- Question each assumption.
- Rebuild from the facts.
Explain to someone younger why ice floats, using only facts you can check.
- PhET Simulations ↗
Experiment with real physics and find the rule yourself.
Fermi Field
Adaptive rule: two correct in a row raises difficulty, one miss lowers it. Accuracy so far 0%.
