AP Physics 2

Course Number: SCP2PA

Semesters: 2, Credits: 1

Prerequisite: Required: AP Physics 1, Algebra II; Concurrently: Pre-Calculus

AP Physics 2 is an algebra-based, introductory college-level physics course. Students cultivate their understanding of Physics through inquiry-based investigations as they explore these topics: fluids; thermodynamics; electrical force, field, and potential; electric circuits; magnetism and electromagnetic induction; geometric and physical optics; and quantum, atomic, and nuclear physics. Students will use representations and models, apply mathematics, engage in scientific questioning, plan and implement data collection strategies, perform data analysis, work with scientific explanations and theories, and connect and relate knowledge across various scales, concepts, and representations in AP Science classes.
