Welcome to AP Physics 1! I am excited to embark on this journey into the world of Physics with you this year. We will explore how the world around us functions by conducting many experiments and investigations. In fact, approximately 25-50% of class time will focus on laboratory investigations while your time outside of class will focus on notes and knowledge acquisition. In this course, you will function as a student-scientist who is responsible for actively investigating and building their knowledge as I help guide, facilitate, and mentor your growth. By the end of this year, you will be confident in your abilities as a scientist and your ability to tackle any endeavor including the AP Exam. You will take your AP exam in May. If you earn a qualifying score on the AP Exam, you may be eligible, in college, to receive credit, placement into advanced courses, or both.
