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", and official College Board AP essays from previous years. The sister website of PhysicsLAB is AlgebraLAB, a site designed to teach algebra and geometry.
