AP Physics is an algebra-based college-level physics course that explores topics such as Newtonian mechanics (including rotational
motion); work, energy, and power; mechanical waves and sound; and introductory to simple circuits. Through inquiry-based learning,
students will develop scientific critical thinking and reasoning skills, construct solid arguments, and see multiple sides of an issue.
Prerequisite: See site counselor for minimum math requirement.

The semester of Physical and Human Geography is taught through the five themes of geography and the state standards. Students
study and compare at least four of the following regions: Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, North and South America and the Pacific
World. Students explore the global community through current events and cultural diversity through research projects.

This course introduces students to the systematic study of patterns and processes that have shaped human understanding, use and
alteration of the Earth’s surface. Students employ spatial concepts and landscape analysis to examine human social organization and
its environmental consequences. They also will learn about the methods and tools geographers use in their science and practice.
Emphasis will be on the development of critical thinking and writing skills necessary for the essay portion of the AP examination.
