An introduction to basic topics in physics, supported by take-home experiments. The sequence of topics includes space and time; force, work, and mechanical energy; heat and mechanical/thermal energy conversions; electrical and chemical energy; atomicity and kinetic theory of gases; introduction to wave motion; Newtonian mechanics and gravitation; and simple harmonic motion in mechanical systems. Kits of equipment are provided for the performance of a relevant take-home experiment as part of the homework each week. Many of the experiments involve simple electrical and electronic instrumentation.
