AP Physics 1 & 2

This non-calculus, college-level physics curriculum includes Newtonian mechanics, thermodynamics, waves, sound, optics, electricity, magnetism, atomic physics, nuclear physics, and relativity.

While there are distinct advantages to learning—either in a classroom or online—with a real physics teacher, there are a number of online references that can help supplement your instruction.
