Physics II AP

PHYSICS II , (AP 1): This laboratory course is aligned with the College Board guidelines for AP Physics 1.  The first semester is a study of classical mechanics and the further study of wave theory, optics, and sound coupled with an introduction into modern physics.  There will be a strong emphasis on the algebraic manipulation of variables.  Problem definition and multi-step problem solving will be stressed.  The second semester will include a review of wave theory, optics, and basic electrical circuits.  Students are expected to take the AP Physics 1 exam in May.
