337 AP PHYSICS 1

AP Physics B is now offered as AP Physics 1 and 2. The course has been split into two separate full year courses which allow students to achieve in depth understanding. Advanced Physics 1 is the equivalent to a first semester college course in algebra-based physics. Students will have more time for hands-on exploration of physics content and inquiry labs. The full year also allows for in depth physics content specified by state standards. This algebra-based physics course covers Newtonian mechanics, work, energy, and power; mechanical waves and sound. Electric circuits will be introduced. This course is taken in preparation of the Advanced Placement exam.
