Course: Advanced Placement Physics 1
This algebra-based AP physics course promotes focused, hands-on learning. It enables students to develop deep understanding of the content and to focus on applying their knowledge through inquiry labs. This course also allows time for teachers to include physics contents that are normally covered in our school’s Physics ST, the Physics Course for Science and Technology Program students. This course covers Newtonian mechanics; work, energy, and power; mechanical waves and sound, electric circuits, static electricity, magnetic field, optics and a little bit of modern physics. This course also emphasizes the understanding of physics concepts and the development of problem solving and critical thinking skills. Demonstrations are used to illustrate physical concepts and phenomena; and applications to real-life are highlighted throughout the course. Labs, demonstrations, and real-life applications are used to foster student-centered guided inquiry and open inquiry into the world around them.
