Formulas & Forces Lab vs ComparePad

Formulas & Forces Lab is an offline study portfolio for 6th grade Math and Physics. Instead of focusing on scores, students produce study artifacts: Explain-It cards, Worked-Solution rewrites, Mistake Pattern cards, session summaries, and revision plans. Practice and review prompts are used to generate reflections and structured write-ups that stay on-device. A built-in portfolio exporter creates a shareable PDF notebook from recent artifacts and active revision plans. No accounts, no analytics, and no network access—everything is bundled locally and stored privately on the device.

ComparePad is a calm notebook for criteria-based comparison and judgment. Instead of picking a preset answer, you show the rule behind your decision. Choose a comparison mode, define your criteria, write reasons, and save one Compare Card that captures your thinking. Modes include: • Same / Different • Better for... • Sort by One Rule • Sort by Two Rules • Change One Thing, Compare Again Each session creates a locked Compare Card containing your concepts, decisions, written reasons, summary sentence, and reflection. All cards are stored locally in your Library so you can revisit how your rules and judgments evolve over time. ComparePad is fully offline. No accounts, tracking, ads, or generated answers.
