Advanced Placement Physics students closely follow the program suggested by the College Board. The curriculum is challenging, but broad in nature. The course is the equivalent to a second-semester college course in algebra-based physics. The course covers fluid mechanics; thermodynamics; electricity and magnetism; optics; and atomic and nuclear physics. Students prepare for and take the College Board’s Advanced Placement Test and those who receive an acceptable score on the test may receive college credit and/or advanced standing in college.
Prerequisites
Completed AP Physics I or a comparable introductory course in physics
