  1. AP Physics C Some Potentially useful information

  2. AP Physics C • The course is broken into 2 main parts: • 1) electro-magnetism (e-statics, fields, circuits, e/m interactions, etc.) • 2) mechanics (motion, forces, energy, etc.) • Of the 2 main parts, electro-magnetism is much more difficult and we will cover that in the 1st part of the class

  3. AP Physics C • We cover less topics than AP Physics B but cover them in more detail and depth • “Math expectations”: some calculus is used but it is at a fairly basic level. If you are taking calculus concurrently or have had one class in this you should be fine.

  4. AP Physics C • Class structure • We’ll break the topics into units of which there are about 12 units. • Each unit will consist of…. • “lecture” & discussion, • ideally a lab (not all units will have a lab) • Text book problems • AP Problems from past years • Quiz at the end of the unit (free response plus multiple choice)

  5. AP Physics C • Much of the class time will be spent working on problems from the book, workbook, or computers. • Use the time wisely while you are here and you’ll be successful

  6. AP Physics C • The AP Physics C test • There are 2 different tests, 1)mechanics and 2) electro-magnetism • Each has a separate score and fee$$$. • Last year’s scores • Mechanics: 100% pass rate (ave = 4.1, 17 students took the test) • E/M: 73% pass rate (ave = 3.5, 15 students took the test)

  7. AP Physics C • So….it’s your senior year……….. • Be here because you plan on a science major in college (or you really like physics) • Taking the AP test?
