Download my "Physics Resource book" to your computer. (If you click on the image instead of right-clicking, the pdf file will open in this browser window instead of downloading to your laptop/computer.) This pdf file contains most of the problems and activities we will do in class. We will not do all of the problems or activities. But will do a lot of them.

This can be found in Schoology under the resources.

 

This is not a comprehensive "textbook." It is to serve as resource to help explain most of the main concepts that are covered in a first year physics class. The cool stuff happens in class with demonstrations, explanations, labs, and activities. It can be used as a review or as a primer before class. This resource contains a lot of animations, "Questions for Understanding" quizes with feedback, and movies embedded from YouTube. It is meant to be different from a printed textbook. Hopefully more engaging. It was developed and organized by soliciting feedback from thousands of my students. Physics Resource Book link.
