This is not a comprehensive textbook. It is to serve as resource to help explain some 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 and movies embedded from YouTube. It is meant to be different from a printed textbook. Hopefully more engaging.

Each chapter can be switched by the menu at the top right of the pages in the blue bar. The menu is labeled "Chapters."
