AP Physics C: Mechanics (X Block)

Students taking AP Physics I may participate in the C: Mechanics X block if they wish to prepare for the AP Physics C: Mechanics exam instead of or in addition to the AP Physics I exam. The AP Physics C: Mechanics curriculum includes most of the concepts covered in AP Physics I but requires the use of calculus during problem-solving instead of algebraic methods only. 

Students must sign a contract agreeing to attend all Physics C X blocks to prepare for the exam in May. A student participating in the Physics C X block must be willing to put in extra time outside of class to learn the material to prepare for the calculus-based exam.
