Course DescriptionAP Physics 1 is an Algebra-based course equivalent to the first semester of a typical introductory, algebra-based, college physics course. This course fosters greater depth of conceptual understanding through the use of student-centered, inquiry-based instructional practices. It covers the concepts and skills students will need to demonstrate in order to earn credit for the first semester introductory algebra-based college physics course. This AP Physics 1 framework shifts away from a traditional “content coverage” model of instruction to one that focuses on the “big ideas” in an introductory college-level physics course and provides students with enduring, conceptual understandings of foundational physics principles. Having a deep understanding of physics principles implies the ability to reason about physical phenomena using important science process skills such as explaining causal relationships, applying and justifying the use of mathematical routines, designing experiments, analyzing data and making connections across multiple topics within the course. Therefore, the curriculum for AP Physics 1 pairs the core essential knowledge with the fundamental scientific reasoning skills necessary for authentic scientific inquiry and engages students at an academic level equivalent to one semester of a typical college or university algebra-based, introductory physics course sequence. The result will be readiness for the study of advanced topics in subsequent college courses.
