Welcome to AP Physics 2!
AP Physics 2 is equivalent to a second semester freshman college level algebra-based physics course. This course will review essential AP 1 mechanics topics and also cover the following topics of thermodynamics, electricity, magnetism, optics, and atomic and nuclear physics. Students are required to integrate their math abilities with science knowledge, reading comprehension and problem-solving skills in order to be successful. By the end of the year students should be prepared to take the AP Physics 2 exam. In addition, students will have the pre-requisite knowledge and skills to take future calculus-based physics courses.
