A one-stop hub of Physics Bowl prep resources — compiled handouts, key-point notes, a topic-sorted question bank, high-frequency formulas, core vocabulary, the competition white paper and a recommended book list. Scan to get all for free.
Hanlin's exclusive Physics Bowl prep bundle covers compiled handouts, key-point notes, a topic-sorted question bank, high-frequency formulas and core vocabulary — helping you review systematically and target every tested concept.
From zero-base beginners to challengers aiming for national awards and global rankings, these materials are curated and packed by the Hanlin International Education competition team. Scan to get the full set for free.
Systematic study, fast review and targeted drilling: build the foundation with the handouts, sweep key points with the notes, then fix weak spots with the question bank.
Systematic coverage across mechanics, electricity & magnetism, thermodynamics & fluids, waves & optics and modern physics, with worked examples and tiered exercises from basic to advanced.
Condensed key-point notes, ideal for a fast final sweep; pair with the handouts to build a complete knowledge network.
Breaks the full-paper format: questions are grouped into modular topics — mechanics, electricity & magnetism, heat, optics and modern physics — with D1/D2 difficulty tiers for targeted gap-filling. Aligned with the contest syllabus, it covers high-frequency test points precisely, helps build a structured physics knowledge system, and trains fast question-reading and concept discrimination.
Formats, timelines and prep planning across major international contests — one read for choosing and scheduling.
Covers formats, timelines and prep-planning guidance for major international competitions, helping students and parents choose contests, schedule them and set a plan.
Six classic physics textbooks — from all-round foundations to specialist boosts in mechanics, E&M and quantum.
A classic physics textbook that walks through 44 topics and challenging problems across two volumes. Concepts are built with calculus, making it a good fit for students with a solid math foundation.
A focused mechanics booster covering Newton's laws, oscillations, energy, momentum, planetary motion and special relativity, packed with hard problems and detailed solutions.
An authoritative two-volume text: Volume 1 covers mechanics, waves and thermodynamics; Volume 2 goes deep into electromagnetism, optics, relativity and modern-physics basics such as an introduction to quantum mechanics.
David J. Griffiths' classic introduction to electrodynamics, balancing intuitive physical pictures with rigorous derivations, and using everyday examples and analogies to make abstract theory concrete.
David J. Griffiths' classic quantum mechanics introduction, used by universities worldwide since its 1995 first edition; the infinite square well and the harmonic oscillator make abstract theory tangible.
The classic university physics text, updated continuously since 1949 — mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, waves and optics, relativity and modern physics.
A classic popular-science book by British physicist Helen Czerski. It replaces formulas with witty everyday examples — ketchup flowing like snail slime — and was recommended by The Wall Street Journal. Great for building scientific thinking.
Known for its distinctive strategic approach, this book helps students gain a deep understanding of core physics concepts while building critical thinking and problem-solving skills — suited to students with solid foundations aiming to level up their physics thinking.
Physics Bowl papers are entirely in English — solid physics vocabulary and formula fluency are essential for accurate answers. These two tools help you drill weak spots and review fast.
A quick-reference of frequently used formulas across the five areas — essential for mock exams and pre-test review.
An English physics terminology glossary to help you read questions smoothly and understand them accurately.
