Welcome to AP Physics! Know that you are challenging yourself beyond other high school students simply by taking this class - and you deserve credit simply for stepping up to the challenge! You absolutely will be a better college student for having done this. That being said, the real work begins now...
In AP Physics we will cover part of Classical Physics, as referenced in the Physics Map below. This is the necessary introduction to learning all forms of Physics! Many students want to talk Quantum and Relativity right away, but the old adage holds true: you have to walk before you can run!
On this page you will find helpful links, unit outlines, and all non-confidential class materials. Know that any items meant to protect you or my identity will be housed in Canvas as this is a public facing website. And many of the necessary problems and practice tests will be assigned through College Board's AP Classroom.
There are some items that will need to be set up before class can begin! Instructional videos for each and the necessary links are provided here. The picture to the left will take you to Mr. Barry's YouTube channel that houses all instructional videos!
