The Physics of Everyday Things — A 12-Week Masterclass in Everyday Physics With an AI Tutor:
A masterclass you actually finish — because it's one fully scripted ~60-minute session a week, not
a semester you'll abandon. This 12-week plan turns an AI tutor into a patient explainer standing
next to your kitchen counter: it asks you to predict what a spoon, a light switch, or a swinging
door will do before it tells you, then builds the real mental model underneath it — so you start
seeing the physics running under ordinary life instead of memorizing another fact you'll forget.
No formulas required to start, no science background assumed, and no prior AI experience needed —
every step is timed and every AI prompt is written for you.
Format: digital guide, self-paced, 12 weeks, one scripted ~60-minute session a week with an AI
coach beside you the whole way.
What you get
- "Never used an AI chat assistant? Start here" — a five-minute onboarding that takes a
complete beginner from zero to ready, using free AI assistants. No paid plan needed.
- Four rescue prompts in the front matter for when a concept won't click, mid-lesson, no
matter which week you're stuck in.
- 12 deep weekly sessions, each fully scripted for ~60 minutes: a plain-language concept, a
concrete worked example, a minute-by-minute session plan, copy/paste AI-tutor prompts at every
step, a "show me" checkpoint, common mistakes to watch for, and practice.
- A two-part capstone project: you pick a real everyday mystery, build a first-principles
explanation for it, then teach it to someone until they can predict a new example too.

- Project Week I: Pick Your Mystery
- Project Week II: Teach It
- Demo Day and What's Next
Who it's for
Curious adults who want to understand the physics behind daily life — the coffee cooling, the
mirror flipping your reflection, the breaker that trips. No science background assumed and no math
required to start; if you've ever wondered "wait, why does that actually happen," you're ready.
Why this instead of a free chatbot
A raw chatbot will hand you the textbook answer the moment you ask, and you'll forget it by
dinner. This pack ships the structure it lacks: a predict-before-you're-told method, a real
12-week progression from single rules to a first-principles capstone, and a tutor set up to make
you defend your guess before it explains — so the model sticks because you built it, not because
you read it.
FAQ
- Do I need any experience? None. Week 1 assumes nothing beyond curiosity; every idea starts
from an object you can see or touch, not a formula.
- Which AI does it use? Any modern AI assistant — ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini. Free
versions are enough; no paid plan required. If you've never used one before, the guide's first
section walks you through setup in about five minutes.
- Is there math? Almost none by design — the goal is the mental model, not the equation. If
you want the math later, the tutor will take you there when you ask.
- How much time per week? You lead one ~60-minute session, fully scripted — every step timed
and every AI prompt written for you, no expertise needed. The two project weeks run at the same
pace.
- Refunds? Standard marketplace refund policy applies.
