Laboratory Requirement and Lab Notebooks: Laboratory experience must be part of the education of AP Physics students and should be included in all AP Physics courses. Colleges may require students to present their laboratory materials from AP science courses before granting college credit for laboratory, so students are encouraged to retain laboratory notebooks, reports, and other materials.
Course Design
The course content is organized into commonly taught units. On completion of the course, students should be able to:
demonstrate an understanding of the following:
Kinematics
Dynamics
Circular Motion and Gravitation
Energy
Momentum
Simple Harmonic Motion
Torque and Rotational Motion
Electric Charge and Electric Force
DC Circuits
Mechanical Waves and Sound
2. develop skills of hands-on laboratory work with an emphasis on inquiry-based investigations.
3. write reports and which address the question(s), which are supported with researched, referenced evidence.
4. point out, understand, and take notes on the main ideas and key details when listening to lectures and presentations.
5. participate actively in the discussions about the topic or subject skills developed in this subject.
6. Communicate effectively.
The course will be divided into two semesters. Simultaneously, the students will be prepared to take the AP Physics Exam.
