Description: This calculus based physics course is designed to prepare students for the AP Physics C - Mechanics and
AP Physics C - Electricity & Magnetism exams. Content will focus on rigorous problem solving involving mathematical
reasoning, as well as, a laboratory portion commensurate with the curriculum. This course also satisfies the requirements
for the University of Pittsburgh’s College in High School Physics course 0174, Basic Physics for Science & Engineering 1.
Students may select to register for the Pitt option at the beginning of the year. There is a separate fee associated with
University registration. Students must register for at least one of the three testing options (AP Physics C - Mechanics, AP
Physics Electricity & Magnetism, CHS Physics at Pitt), but are not limited to only one option. This course is not
recommended as a first-year physics course.
