Description:

AP® Physics 1 is an algebra-based physics course designed to successfully prepare students for the AP® Physics exam. Students will develop their investigative skills through hands-on labs, simulations, and design projects. Through self-evaluation and reflection, students will explain how their work and thinking aligns with the objectives in the lessons. Students will connect with their peers through discussion boards and Teams and be a part of our class community. Students will also demonstrate their problem solving skills through AP® practice problems, reflections, activities and tests.

Special Notes:

If you are planning to take the AP® exam associated with this course, then be aware that the College Board requires that all students register in October of each school year to take the exam which is held in early May. You must make your decision early. There are penalties associated with late registration and with registering and then deciding not to take the exam at a later date. Please plan accordingly. For more information or if you have more questions, please visit  https://apcentral.collegeboard.org . Once on the site, search Home-Schooled Students to find information on locating testing locations near you.
