You’ll be shocked at how much you misunderstand about the physical world around you! You’ll never again throw a ball or jump into a pool or ride a bike without both griping about and praising what you learned in AP Physics.
- Explore the way things move, what happens when you’re pushed or pulled, why walking on wet tile can be treacherous, and how playing pool is the same as bungee jumping
- Experience science. You’ll do labs and projects that bring new concepts to life
- You will study these main topics: Motion and Forces, Gravity, Energy, Momentum, Harmonic Motion, and Rotational Motion
- If you are curious about medicine, architecture, engineering, computer science, or the fundamentals of God’s physical creation then you should take AP Physics 1
- AP Physics is NOT math intensive. If you know the basics of right-triangles, linear graphing, and solving simple simultaneous equations, you have all the math skills you need
- The homework load varies from one to four hours per week. You will develop college-level skills in physics, time management, collaboration strategies, and academic maturity. And you will have fun!
