Physics 12 students will study more advanced physics concepts , including vectors , momentum , equilibrium , gravitation , circular motion , electrostatics , circuits and electromagnetism . Laboratory activities will use technology to gather and analyse data . Students must be adept at algebraic and numerical problem solving . The evaluation for this course is based on the student ’ s achievement of curriculum expectations and the demonstrated skills required for effective learning . Students ’ assessment will be designed in such a way as to make it possible to gather and show evidence of learning in a variety of ways to gradually release responsibility to the students , and to give multiple and varied opportunities to reflect on learning and receive detailed feedback . It will typically include tests , assignments , research projects and laboratory work .
AP Physics 1 covers Kinematic ; Dynamics ; Circular Motion and Gravitation ; Energy , Work and Power ; Momentum ; Simple Harmonic Motion ; and Torque and Rotational Motion
Students will study a number of complex situations , develop their scientific investigation skills as they test laws of physics and solve both assigned problems and those emerging from their investigations . Students will also consider the impact of technological applications of physics on society and the environment . This course is useful for students considering potential engineering , architecture , pre-med , science and computer science majors as well as anyone strongly interested in Physics . This course is highly analytical and prepares students for the AP Physics 1 examination offered by the College Board . Students must be adept at algebraic and numerical problem solving . Students ’ assessment will be designed in such a way as to make it possible to gather and show evidence of learning in a variety of ways to gradually release responsibility to the students , and to give multiple and varied opportunities to reflect on learning and receive detailed feedback .
