The best intro to physics

I volunteer tutoring physics to grade 8 -9 students and was looking for a book that is less math and formula intense but more focused on principles with simple examples. I couldn't be happier to discover this book. It does require a grade 8 level of algebra, Geometry and trigonometry and does not expect you be math wiz!. If you don't have a grade 8 level of math then work on math first. Mathematics made simple is a recommendation, covers to about grade 10. Physics made simple does not mean mathematically ignorant.

physics really made simple

i love this book it is by far the best book i found.that makes this very interesting subject easy to understand.i never took a school course in physics .yet i was able to complete the book in about a week and completely understand all the concepts.the book made physics really easy and fun.now that i finished this book i will better understand other books on physics.i hope many other people get to enjoy this book.
