Unit 1 is an introduction into Physics and we will study Chapters 1 and 3. We will look into how Physics is organized and learn some general ideas that will be used
all year. Chapter 3 in this unit will be a look at how to solve
mathematical problems which is a central concept in Physics. This is
an important topic as practically all of the relationships we will study
are
described with a formula.
The chapters for this unit are Chapters 1 and 3 in our book.
Table Code: Many of the animations for this course are taken from Kahn Academy which is a science based tutorial. These will be coded by KH. Another series that will be used is The Physics Classroom which will be coded PC.
