ISM Physics 2022
Welcome!

​
Physics 1 at ISM is an algebra based course that covers Newtonian Mechanics.
The textbook we use is Giancoli Physics 7th Ed.

This website will provide lessons and resources to help you be successful in this class. It will be updated frequently, so check back often.

The single most important thing you can do to learn physics is to work problems. Lots and lots of problems. Every evening.
