Intro to AP Physics B In AP Physics B, our goal is to learn the basic principles of physics and prepare for the upcoming AP Test (Monday, May 14, 2011). We will focus on mastering both conceptual understanding of the content and the ability to solve physics problems using algebra and trigonometry. In general, this is one of the most rigorous AP courses--in order to be prepared for class, students should plan to spend at least 1 hour on homework every evening. Website for our Textbook (Physics, 6th ed. by John D. Cutnell and Kenneth W. Johnson). The textbook website provides additional support for completing homework problems. College Board AP Physics Website. This website outlines details regarding the AP test, and provides copies of previous exams which are useful for practicing and preparing for the AP exam. Quest Online Homework Website. You can access the online homework portal through this site. Be sure to remember or write down your online UT EID (username) and password. We will have weekly online assignments to complete. The Physics Classroom. A great website that provides tutorials about relevant physics topics and practice problems for testing your own knowledge. Derek Owens Physical Science Videos: Derek Owens has created a vast selection of physics/physical science videos that review the topics we cover in class. These are a great way to review material after our class lesson. |
