Online Advanced Placement Physics B
AP Physics B is a non-calculus survey course covering five general areas: Newtonian mechanics, thermal physics, electricity and magnetism, waves and optics, and atomic and nuclear physics. Students will gain an understanding of physics’ core principles and then apply them to problemsolving exercises. The equivalent of an introductory college level course, AP Physics B prepares students for the AP Physics B Exam and for further study in science and engineering. Students are required to participate in four regionally held hands-on labs each semester. The times and locations of these labs will be scheduled to best meet the needs of the students. Students may take the first half-credit of the course without taking the second half-credit but may not take the second half-credit of the course without taking the first half-credit. Required resources: TI-83 or TI-83 Plus calculator. Read “Getting Started” and Chapter 1 in the TI Guidebook before your course starts
