Conceptual Physics (12th ed.)
This textbook, developed for post-secondary education, presents an approach to teaching physics that does not rely extensively on computation, but still requires mathematics. Hewitt engages readers with analogies and imagery from real-world situations that build a strong conceptual understanding of physical principles and scientific literacy. The resource provides support for the Heat and Properties of Waves outcomes in Physical Science 20, but does not provide support for the Foundations of Chemistry outcomes. For Physics 30, the content of this resource supports all of the curricular outcomes. The textbook does not address First Nations and Métis content, perspectives or ways of knowing.

Glencoe Physics: Principles & Problems
The chapters in this textbook provide support for the Properties of Waves and Heat outcomes for Physical Science 20, but do not provide support for the Foundations of Chemistry outcomes. For Physics 30, the resource's content supports all of the curricular outcomes. Framed around big ideas and essential questions, each chapter is introduced by relating physics to students' lives. The chapters offer many real-world examples of how physics is involved in everyday objects, natural phenomena or experiences, as well as provides web links to related sites, labs and videos, example problems, demonstration and lab activities, a review, a study guide and a chapter assessment. Various sections, such as the On the Job, That's Entertainment and Frontiers in Physics sections, link the concepts studied to everyday life and careers and further help students understand what is being studied and discovered in today's physics research. The textbook does not address First Nations and Métis content, perspectives or ways of knowing.
