A very good thing to start with is basic kinematics...that's things like acceleration with gravity, constant speed, velocity, etc.

You will learn calculus through this. It is not the best tutorial, but feel free to ask questions.

I think a site called particleadventure.com is very good and informative about the sub-atomic world. I was lost before I saw that site, now I'm good.

You should also consider books, from the library or store. Some libraries have Physics/Math textbooks. Photocopy the pages and study them at home. :)

Have FUN!

Note: Don't be afraid to pick up books in the Junior section. I found two books that didn't belong there. (Introduction to Relativity, and The Basic Elements of Chemistry) I don't know why it is there, but I highly doubt a junior would pick that up.
