Physics 101 Workbook and Study Guide

My favorite science teacher once defined physics as the study of the world around us. Physics covers all aspects of nature from the behavior of objects under the fundamental forces to the nature of light. The language of physics is mathematics. Needless to say success in solving a physics problem depends on knowing the fundamentals. The fundamentals include: terminology, units, and problem solving skills.

My favorite science teacher once defined physics as the study of the world around us. Physics covers all aspects of nature from the behavior of objects under the fundamental forces to the nature of light. The language of physics is mathematics. Needless to say success in solving a physics problem depends on knowing the fundamentals. The fundamentals include: terminology, units, and problem solving skills. This is exactly the purpose of this workbook/study guide. This workbook/study guide also includes interactive tables, worksheets, and mini quizzes. This will help the student of physics learn the material in a more hands on approach.Part 1: A study of motionThis part of this workbook/study guide (Chapters 1-15) focuses on many concepts in kinematics, which is the study of motion, in physics. Part 2: WorksheetsThis part of the workbook/study guide covers 33 basic equations including the equation for the Pythagorean Theorem and covers the terminology and the units associated with each term in the equation. A specific strategy which has shown proven success in my physics classroom is used to teach students how to solve sample problems for each equation.
