What is “AP” Physics “1”? Differences with Honors Physics (Lab)
Level of mathematical rigor Number of topics-speed of presentation Breadth and depth of topics Amount of hands-on opportunities
Differences with AP Physics “C” (Lab) Algebra / Trigonometry based vs Calculus based Breadth of topics-speed of presentation
Differences with AP Physics “1&2” (Lab) Breadth of topics-speed of presentation

AP Physics 1 This course is designed to meet the demands
of the AP Physics 1 syllabus as published by the College Board.
The topics covered include Classical Mechanics, Waves and Sound, and an introduction to Electric Circuits.
This course is equivalent to a one–semester terminal physics course at the college–level.
![Page 6: Welcome to Open House AP Physics 1 Mr. Kuffer. Physics offered at North Allegheny AP PhysicsHonors Physics Concepts of Physics](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e995503460f94b9beff/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The course is valuable to the student in two ways. The experience of having taken a college–
level science class in high school will be a tremendous help when the student is in college.
Students can earn college credit by taking the AP Physics 1 exam at the end of the year.
This of course depends upon how well the student does on the exam and the college and major in which the student enrolls. Please contact the specific college or university for more information.

What you can do
Homework Make sure homework is completed each night Make sure homework is done in a manner that it can be
used as a resource later. Tests
Help them make flashcards Quiz them on their study guides Ask them about what we talked about in class-have them
summarize, ask questions-each day.

Make-up work If a student is present until the day of the test,
he/she should take the test on the day of return. In excess of three days excused absence, test
and work must be completed within three days of the student return to school.
MAKE-UP WORK IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STUDENT! If aware of test prior to absence, students should take the test upon return.
