The Advanced Placement Physics 1 course is an algebra-based, introductory college-level physics course that explores topics such as Newtonian mechanics (including rotational motion); work, energy, and power; mechanical waves and sound; and introductory simple circuits. Students will develop scientific critical thinking and reasoning skills. A solid foundation in algebra and trigonometry is necessary in order to be successful in the course. Students will take the AP Physics 1 examination in May and also the Regents Physics examination in June for credit. In order to take both exams, students will need to complete the required 1200 lab minutes. Recommended for students that have completed Regents Physics; however, students who have achieved a score of 93% or better on 3 Regents exams in math have been successful in this course as a first year physics course.
