  1. 01

    Measurement, units, and modeling

    • Use vectors, units, uncertainty, and significant figures.
    • Build simple mathematical models from evidence.

    Practice: Collect a short dataset and fit a physical relationship with units.

  2. 02

    Kinematics

    • Describe motion with graphs and equations.
    • Analyze one- and two-dimensional motion.

    Practice: Solve a projectile problem using x/y independence and a diagram.

  3. 03

    Forces and Newton's laws

    • Draw free-body diagrams.
    • Apply Newton's laws to equilibrium and acceleration.

    Practice: Model a multi-force system and explain each force pair.

  4. 04

    Energy

    • Use work, kinetic energy, potential energy, and conservation.
    • Identify nonconservative work.

    Practice: Compare a force-based and energy-based solution for the same problem.
