Personally, mine is jacaranda physics as its layout and diagrams make concepts easier to understand.

Hey! Welcome to the forums!! ;D

I used Physics in Focus primarily, so I'd have to say that is my favourite! I've heard good things about Jacaranda though :P

I liked the heinemann physics' notes and the jacaranda's questions!

Heinemann just had the most info there, they went a bit overboard but I liked that, coz it gave me a more hollistic understanding beyond the dot point of the study design.

Jacaranda's questions were just of better quality.

Iminschool:
Haha thanks,
Yea, Physics in Focus isn't that bad either

I'm going to step outside of the box here because my favourite physics textbook when I was in high school wasn't any of the prescribed textbook for Australian high schools, like Heinemann and Jacaranda :P

My favourite physics textbook in high school is College Physics by Raymond A. Serway and Chris Vuille.

This book is meant as an introduction to fundamental physics for first year university students that aren't interested in going too deep with it; such as biomedical students. The maths used in this book is all algebraic so no calculus involved, so the math aren't too complicated and can be read by high school students.

What I really like about this book is the crystal clear explanation that is easy to understand. Not to mention highly comprehensive, covering almost everything in the typical high school physics syllabus and much more, so you can cherry pick the bits you're doing in school.

A highly enjoyable read, and if you want your physics level to fly through the roof while you're in high school, I'd highly recommend getting one and check it out 8)
