AP Physics 1 is a rigorous course designed to meet a first-semester introductory college course in algebra-based physics. Students will conduct investigations as they explore kinematics, dynamics, circular motion and gravitation, energy, momentum, simple harmonic motion, and torque and rotational motion. Mathematical equations are used in such a way that the solutions will predict the way nature behaves. Group work, individual projects, inquiry-based problem solving, and design problems are integral parts of this course. The grade earned on the optional AP Physics Exam in May determines credit received by cooperating institutions. Time outside of class may be needed to complete course requirements.
Diploma Credit Area: Science (SC)
