Each unit is broken up into lessons and sub-lessons. A lesson resembles the type and extent of coverage given to that physics topic in class. The sub-lessons are accompanied by "Check Your Understanding" sections, providing an opportunity to assess understanding of the lesson material. The tutorial, when combined with other resources at The Physics Classroom provides a student an opportunity to learn and to test his understanding.
