Class introduction
The AP Physics Prep Class is an online course designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in an AP Physics course at their host institution. The course is intended for students who are planning to take an AP Physics course in the near future and want to ensure that they are well-prepared for the material covered in the class.
The class is taught by an experienced AP Physics teacher who has a deep understanding of the subject matter and the skills and knowledge required to excel on the AP Physics exam. The teacher will provide students with a comprehensive review of the most challenging areas of the AP Physics curriculum, including kinematics, dynamics, circular motion and gravitation, work and energy, impulse and momentum, rotational mechanics, and oscillations and harmonic oscillators.
The course is designed to be interactive, with a focus on strong conceptual development. Students will engage in a variety of activities, including discussions, group work, and independent research projects, which will help them develop critical thinking skills and the ability to apply physics concepts to real-world situations.
The online sessions will cover the salient points in the most traditionally arduous areas of the College Board’s curriculum, with the goal of providing students with a solid foundation of the key concepts in physics. The class will also provide students with test-taking strategies and tips to help them perform their best on the day of the AP Physics exam.
Outcome
- Practice in the form of individual and group work on practice problems, online simulations, and “sense-making” tasks
- Have all the knowledge to enroll in their AP Physics courses at their home institution
- Understand and master all the concepts introduced during the online sessions
Feedback
Students and their parents will receive brief feedback after each class, via Teachworks, regarding the student’s general participation in class. Students will also receive feedback on graded assignments via email. At the end of the course, the student will receive a final report card, which thoroughly speaks to their overall participation in the course, including major assignments.
