About Us

Hey there, fellow educator.

We're Shawn and Lauren, and Phantastic Physics is the curriculum we wished existed when we first started out.

Shawn has a master's degree in civil engineering and has spent 7+ years teaching high school physics in Redwood City, California. After years of piecing together resources from different places — some great, some not — he decided to build something better from scratch. Something a first-year physics teacher could pick up and run with on day one, and something a veteran teacher would actually want to use.

Lauren handles the business and marketing side of things. She makes sure teachers can actually find these resources and that the whole experience — from browsing to downloading — is as smooth as possible.

Our Mission

We believe every physics teacher deserves a curriculum that's ready to go, easy to understand, and genuinely useful — without spending every weekend building materials from scratch. That's exactly what we set out to create.

Every single resource in our catalog was built by Shawn, tested in his own classroom, and refined based on what actually works with real students. No filler. No fluff. Just well-organized, thoughtfully designed materials that make teaching physics less stressful and more effective.

What You'll Find Here

Phantastic Physics offers a comprehensive, NGSS-aligned high school physics curriculum for grades 9–12. Our catalog includes:

  • 200+ classroom-ready resources — warm-ups, lecture slide decks, activities, assignments, quizzes, tests, and assessments
  • 22 hands-on lab investigations — covering all major physics units, designed for real classroom use
  • Complete unit bundles — everything you need for each topic, organized and ready to teach
  • A full-year curriculum bundle — the entire course in one package

Every product includes both PDF and editable DOCX formats, so you can customize anything to fit your classroom. All materials are also fully compatible with Google Suite.

What Makes Phantastic Physics Different

  • Written for clarity, not complexity — Physics concepts are explained in plain language, with the assumption that students have zero prior knowledge. A background in physics is not required to teach this curriculum.
  • Truly plug-and-play — Complete unit outlines, answer keys, and pacing guides are included. You can open it up and start teaching.
  • Built by a teacher, for teachers — These aren't theoretical resources made by someone outside the classroom. Every activity, every slide, every assessment has been used with real students.
  • Purchase once, use forever — All resources are digital downloads that you keep. No subscriptions, no recurring fees. And we regularly update materials to stay current with NGSS standards.
