AP Physics A/B
AP Physics 1 A/B fulfills the general education requirement for physical science and is available to 11th and 12th-grade students who meet the prerequisite requirements. Grades earned in this course are calculated on a 5-point scale and are therefore weighted.
AP Physics is a year-long course designed for high school students as an opportunity to earn AP credit on their high school transcript, as well as placement credit for an introductory college-level science course. Students who earn a qualifying score on the AP Physic 1 Exam are typically eligible to receive college credit and placement into advanced science course in college. AP Physic 1 is a year-long course designed to be taken by students after the successful completion of either high school physics or chemistry. AP Physics 1 is divided into four major units to be covered at an introductory collegiate level: classical mechanics, electricity and magnetism, waves and optics, and modern physics. Students will participate in numerous laboratory experiments and are expected to take the College Board Advanced Placement Exam.
This course is aligned with the College Board Advanced Placement Physic 1 Curriculum Framework.
PREREQUISITE:
Successful completion (C average) of NGSS Pathway and successful completion of Math Analysis A/B (B-average). Highly recommended concurrent enrollment in Calculus A/B.
This course is not available to students in Accelerated NGSS Sequence.
