AP Physics 1 is a rigorous course that follows the College Board AP Physics 1 curriculum. The student should have
an excellent working knowledge of Algebra. Topics covered will include dynamics, statics, rotational dynamics,
projectile motion, torque, momentum, electricity, sound, and energy. This course is designed to prepare the student
for further work in science, engineering, or health sciences. This course will prepare students for the AP Physics 1
test and the AP Physics 2 course. In physics there is a great deal of emphasis on analytical problem solving. A
scientific calculator is a necessity. Computer use and technology will be integral to this class. Students enrolled in
Advanced Placement course(s) are REQUIRED to take the Advanced Placement Exam.

The course meets for 1 period every day. The AP Biology course is the equivalent of an introductory
biology course taken by biology majors during their first year in college. The course includes advanced
concepts at the college level and utilizes laboratory skills and techniques, which relate these concepts. A
Scientific Calculator is a necessity. Computer use and technology will be integral to this class. One of the
objectives of the program is to prepare the student to achieve well enough on the standard Advanced
Placement Exam (given in the spring) to place out of the first year of college course in biology.

The course meets for 1 and 1/2 periods every day. AP Physics is based on a course that provides a
systematic introduction to the main principles of physics and emphasizes the development of
problem-solving ability. The course will be the equivalent of an introductory physics course at the college
level that uses advanced algebra and trigonometry as the primary tools for problem solving. Topics covered
include the following: waves, sound, electricity, magnetism, fluids, thermodynamics, optics, quantum
