5-Day No-Prep Sub Plan — Physics

Five full days of substitute-ready physics in one no-prep download, built for the problem that makes a physics absence harder than most: physics is almost never the covering teacher's subject, and in a lot of buildings there is no second physics teacher to ask. Nothing here asks a substitute to teach it, and no required page asks a student to solve for an unknown — the one arithmetic item in the week sits in an optional if-you-finish-early box on Day 2 and ships with a worked answer key. Each day is an original nonfiction reading with every answer on the handout, followed by a page built to catch its own mistakes, and a run sheet at the front tells the substitute exactly what to hand out and what to print. The five days run the first-year course in order — motion, forces, energy and momentum, waves and light, electricity and magnetism — so this is a week of coursework rather than a folder of activities. You come back to a complete set of answer keys and a class that kept working.

• Sub & Teacher Notes cover sheet — what to hand out each day

• 5 self-checking worksheet sets (one per day, 67 questions total) + 5 answer keys

• 17-page PDF: print pages 1-11 for the student set; answer keys at the back

• Each day is standalone — no prior lesson needed; run the days in any order

• Physics, grades 9-12; tagged Emergency Sub Plans + First Week of School
