Welcome to my Physics information page.
Each class I teach here at Spring Valley has a separate page with assignments and other information.
Below you will find a description of each class I teach and the syllabus.
Honors/Discovery Physics
A College level introductory course in physics, covering kinematics, dynamics, energy, momentum, electrical charges, current, circuits, magnetism, waves, sound , fluid flow and more. Topics are covered indepth with rigorous mathematical problem solving. This also forms the first part of AP Physics 2. Course Syllabus
Explorations (Magnet) and CP Physics
A High School College Prep level introductory course in physics within the Magnet Program, covering kinematics, dynamics, energy, momentum, electrical charges, current, circuits, magnetism, waves, sound and more. Course Syllabus
AP Physics 1
The first part of AP Physics, A college level introductory course in physics, covering kinematics, dynamics, energy, momentum, electrical charges, current, circuits, waves, sound and more. Topics are covered indepth with rigorous mathematical problem solving. Students take the AP Physics 1 Test at the end of this course. Course Syllabus
AP Physics 2
The second part of AP Physics, A college level introductory course in physics, covering energy, electrical charges, current, circuits, magnetism, waves, sound , fluid flow, optics, basic quantum theory and more. Topics are covered indepth with rigorous mathematical problem solving. Students take the AP Physics 2 Test at the end of this course. Course Syllabus
