Science Electives - Physics

AP Physics 1 is a year-long, 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. Through inquiry-based learning, students will develop scientific critical thinking and reasoning skills.

All students enrolled are required to take the AP exam in May for which there is a fee of a$95.00.

AP Physics 2 is a year-long, algebra-based, introductory college-level physics course that explores topics such as fluid statics and dynamics; thermodynamics with kinetic theory; PV diagrams and probability; electrostatics; electrical circuits with capacitors; magnetic fields; electromagnetism; physical and geometric optics; and quantum, atomic, and nuclear physics. Through inquiry-based learning, students will develop scientific critical thinking and reasoning skills.
