AP Physics I

AP Physics I is an algebra-based, introductory college-level physics course. Students cultivate their understanding of physics through inquiry-based investigations and the use of various representations of knowledge to conceptualize topics such as kinematics, Newtonian dynamics, circular motion and gravitation, work, energy, and power, momentum, torque and rotational motion mechanical waves and sound, and electrostatics and DC circuits.

Student-led laboratory work is a central component of this course. Students must take the AP Physics I exam in May.
