Student Textbook

Physics A First Course is an all-inclusive teaching and learning system, complete with FREE equipment! This program was developed using a hands-on, inquiry-based approach that is consistent with the "Physics First" philosophy –– developing the big picture of how physics relates to technology, chemistry, biology and other sciences.

Physics A First Course is strongly grounded in practical applications, presents real world connections, and provides the perfect combination of physics and mathematics to help strengthen basic algebraic math skills. This complete learning system provides a foundation on which students can later build understanding of chemistry and biology concepts.
