Physics and ​AP® Physics

Syllabus/Materials
  • This is a high school Physics course with hands-on labs. The course covers classical Newtonian mechanics, rotational motion, mechanical waves & sound, periodic motion, fluids, electrostatics, and circuits. The AP® version of the class requires additional work and lab analyses beyond the regular class.   
  • All students will use Physics, BJU Press, third edition. You don't need the accompanying lab book. 
  • AP students will also need the Princeton Review book for Physics 1. 
  • You will need safety glasses for a few of the labs. I will provide lab coats and gloves if needed. 
  • You will need a scientific calculator. 
  • You will need access to a modern computer with internet connection.
