Advanced Placement Physics I: Mechanics (194181)

Course Description

Designed to be the equivalent of introductory college physics, students may earn college credit by examination. This course provides students with the conceptual framework, knowledge, and analytical skills necessary to deal critically with the science of physics. Both short and long term laboratory investigations are an integral part of the curriculum. Emphasis will be given to developing complex and abstract problem-solving skills. Students will be expected to use graphing calculators and computer software. Laboratory experiments will employ more specialized and technical equipment than is used in basic Physics.

AP Physics I incorporates the first half of the calculus based Advanced Placement Physics "C" outline. The concepts of motion, force, and energy covered in Physics I will be extended to include rotational mechanics and calculus-based mathematical analysis. This course will prepare students for the mechanics portion of the Advanced Placement examination.

Prerequisite:
Physics I or Algebra-Based Physics
Co-requisite:
Calculus
Grades 10 - 12
