AP Physics 1

Advanced Placement Physics 1 is an algebra-based course in general physics. It is equivalent to an introductory algebra-based university level physics course, whose syllabus has been designed by the College Board. The Physics class meets 5 times every two weeks for 56 minutes each day, with an additional 56 minutes once a week on block days. The major emphasis of the course is to understand the concepts of physics, and apply them along with formulae to solve problems. Laboratory experiments are done throughout to reinforce the relationships and concepts currently being studied.
