Track recap

Track recap230 min

Waves

Not started

Use oscillation as the entry point, lock down wave speed and wavelength, carry that into longitudinal sound and pitch-versus-loudness cues, add beats as the nearby-frequency superposition bridge, then move into Doppler shifts, interference, standing-wave patterns, and open-vs-closed air-column resonance without losing the live connection between motion and graph.

About recap mode

Keep the authored order, then open the extra explanation only when you need to understand how recap is choosing the next review move.

How it works

Same authored sequence, lighter revisit.

Recap mode does not invent a second curriculum. It keeps the existing starter-track order, then changes the prompt and suggested action with the current mastery and progress signals.

Keep using concept pages

Quick tests, challenge mode, worked examples, and read-next stay where they already live.

Recap links only jump you to the most useful surface for a fast review. The simulation-first concept pages still carry the real teaching work and keep the guided path intact.

Recap steps

Revisit the track in the same authored order.

Focus badges and button targets come from the current mastery and progress signals. The next ready checkpoint still stays in the loop.
