The following notes cover the entire Alberta Physics 20 curriculum (2007 version, updated 2014). I don’t intend that my students use these notes as an excuse to skip class… in fact I’ve put them here for the exact opposite reason. If you already have these notes when you come to class, you’ll find it easier to follow my explanations as I go through them. You are not required to access these notes… you are not missing anything if you completely ignore this web site.
All of the chapters listed here for the regular Physics 20 course are based on the order of the Pearson Physics textbook. At the bottom of each page you will find a note telling you what section the notes correspond to from the text book.
At the end of the list of the regular Physics 20 notes, you will find a section labeled AP Physics 1. These notes cover Momentum, Rotational Motion, and Fluids, and are intended for a student studying for the AP Physics 1 exam (2025); they are not required for regular Alberta Physics 20 students. AP Physics 1 students must keep in mind that there is significant overlap between the Alberta curriculum and AP Physics 1, but it is not exact and I am making no claim that these notes are a perfect reflection of the AP Physics 1 curriculum, nor have I completed a course audit. If you are an AP Physics 1 student, you should find it useful to study all the regular content shown here except for Chapter 8: Waves (skip it), while studying the AP content. Read this document for a suggestion of the order of study for AP Physics 1.
