Physics (from Ancient Greek: φυσική (ἐπιστήμη) phusikḗ (epistḗmē) "knowledge of nature", from φύσις phúsis "nature") is the natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics
AP Physics 1 is an algebra-based, introductory college-level physics course. The course explores traditional Newtonian Physics (kinematics, dynamics, energy, momentum, rotation, simple harmonic motion, and mechanical waves) with an introduction of circuitry. The course is designed to incorporate inquiry-based learning to develop scientific critical thinking and reasoning skills in students. Twenty-five percent of class time is devoted to laboratory work. In lab, students will use a variety of methods to collect data; in class, they will explore concepts using interactive simulations, collaborative activities, and formative assessments. |
