I started this too late and when tired so it's got a lot of work to do! Also didn't start at the start...

My plan is roughly

Newtonian Mechanics

Motion (Introducing velocity, acceleration etc.)

Newton's Laws of motion (introducing force and mass also applications)

Work,Kinetic Energy,Potential Energy and Conservation

Momentum, Impulse and Collisions

Rotation of rigid bodies and dynamics of rotational motion

Equlibrium and elasticity

Gravitation

Periodic motion

Fluid Mechanics

I see this page leading people to a lot of other pages which will have the more modern and in depth stuff. At university this was the introductory stuff in first year leading on to everything else in quantum mechanics. --Alex MacDonald 17:54, 11 August 2007 (CDT)

I'd add classical electrodynamics (Maxwell's equations) - they are a part of classical mechanics. Anthony Argyriou 14:01, 14 August 2007 (CDT)
