Spiral Mechanics (Calculus-Based)
Paul D'Alessandris · Monroe Community College
Spiral Physics is a research based introductory physics curriculum that integrates text and workbook activities in a modular fashion, and arranges topics so that students receive repeated exposure to concepts with increased complexity. It makes use of alternative problem types, including goal-less problem statements, ranking tasks, and critical analysis tasks. It restricts the equation set available for student use and is designed to facilitate active learning.

Laboratory Manual - The Science of Sound
James M. Fiore · Mohawk Valley Community College
The goal of this work is to support the lab portion of a general college physics course that focuses on sound, acoustics and audio. It covers a variety of topics including speed of sound, resonance, loudness, basic electricity (in association with loudspeakers and microphones) and the human voice.
