High School / AP
AP Physics (1, 2, C)
Education focused on conceptual understanding and mathematical modeling for both algebra-based (1 and 2) and calculus-based (C: Mechanics & E&M) AP Physics curricula.
Curriculum / Syllabus
- Kinematics and Dynamics
- Work, Energy, and Power
- Systems of Particles and Linear Momentum
- Rotation and Circular Motion
- Electricity and Magnetism (Physics 2 & C)
- Thermodynamics and Optics (Physics 2)
Exam & Course Strategy
AP Physics C exams require calculus-based derivative/integral applications, whereas AP Physics 1 and 2 rely more on conceptual explanations (paragraph-length responses) and algebraic operations.
