Introductory Physics is a high school physics course that builds foundational concepts using algebra-based problem solving and structured review.
Students move through core topics such as motion, forces, energy, and waves, working through explanations and practice that reinforce each concept. The course is designed to focus on essential material without requiring advanced math, making it accessible with a solid Algebra I background.
The writing is straightforward and supported by clear diagrams, helping students follow how the concepts connect. Lessons also include historical context and applications, giving students a broader sense of how physics developed and why it matters.
This course fits naturally into a standard high school sequence. It works especially well in a “physics first” approach for 9th- or 10th-grade students. It can also be used later, with optional chapters that extend the material for students who want additional challenge.
Digital resources are included to support the course. These provide quizzes, exams, answer keys, and planning tools such as a daily lesson list and sample schedule, all accessible for ongoing use.
This structure helps students build understanding steadily, so concepts hold together rather than feel like a series of disconnected topics.
How to Use Introductory Physics
- Start by following the suggested lesson schedule. It provides a clear daily plan, so you don’t have to decide what to cover each day.
- Work through one lesson at a time. Have your student read the section, then complete the practice problems while the material is still fresh.
- Let the course do the teaching. The explanations are written for the student, so your role is to keep things moving and check for understanding rather than explain every concept yourself.
- Use the answer keys to review work together. If something isn’t clear, go back and reread that section before continuing.
- Keep the pace steady. It’s better to understand one concept well than to move quickly through several. Add quizzes and tests as they come up. These help you see what your student understands and where a quick review might help.
- If a concept takes time, that’s normal. Stay with it, revisit it, and continue forward—understanding builds over time.

Students should be enrolled in concurrent Algebra I to use this book, which is standard track mathematics for 9th grade. We make our exercises challenging, requiring students to utilize multiple concepts and skills to arrive at an answer, but nothing higher than basic algebra is required for this text. This text is not an upper-level vector/trig-based course.

To be perfectly honest, the first time I picked up Introductory Physics and looked through the online material that comes with it, I was a little overwhelmed. Science is not my strongest subject when it comes to learning or teaching. But when my son and I sat down with it for the first time to look it over together, my worries were for naught. Although science isn't necessarily his favorite subject either, he has been independently working through this book and is understanding the material covered. I appreciate the author's commitment to mastery as opposed to cram and forget.

My son loves this book. The writing style, illustrations, graphics and most importantly -- the content -- are all excellent.
