Course Description
Grade 10-12
UC/CSU Approved 10 Credits
Prerequisites: Completion of Physics A/B with a grade of at least a B or a Passing Score on an AP science exam or Concurrent Enrollment in Pre-Calculus or higher.
Advanced Placement Physics is a one-year college course that is designed to prepare students to take the Advanced Placement Physics Exam given nationwide each May by the College Board. Students can earn college credit if they pass the exam. AP Physics teaches the student how to think analytically and how to problem solve. It includes the study of motion, forces, energy, heat, waves, light, electricity, and magnetism. AP Physics is one of the most challenging classes offered in high school. Material is covered at an extraordinarily rapid pace. The student is expected to spend 30 to 60 minutes on Physics homework every night. Registration for 2nd semester is contingent upon grade of C or above the 1st semester.
