AP Physics 1<br />

Rationale:<br />

The <strong>Lindbergh</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>District</strong> science curriculum respects the importance of science literacy for all students. The curriculum, based<br />

upon the Missouri Show-Me Standards is student-centered and will allow students to explore, discover, understand and apply science<br />

to our ever changing world. The goal of Physics is for students to gain an understanding of motion and energy. Students make<br />

important connections between physics and their everyday lives through meaningful activities and lab experiences. Upon successful<br />

completion of this course, students will be able to take the AP Physics Exam.<br />

Course Description:<br />

This course is recommended for juniors and seniors excelling in science and interested in pursing a career in science and engineering.<br />

This course is an accelerated study of physics. A strong background in math is expected and good problem solving skill. The topics<br />

cover include kinematics, dynamics, momentum, gravity, energy, heat, sound, light electricity, magnetism, atomic and nuclear<br />

physics. The course uses lab experiment approach to understand concepts. The development of problem solving skills is both<br />

quantitative and qualitative. Upon successful completion the student is eligible to take the Physics B AP exam.<br />
