AP Physics 2<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 AP Physics 2 is for students to gain an understanding of motion and energy at an advanced<br />

level. Students make important connections between physics and their everyday lives through meaningful activities and lab<br />

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

Course Description:<br />

This course is will cover all the topics from year one in greater depth using a spiral curriculum and additional topics including fluid<br />

mechanics, thermodynamics, atomic and nuclear physics will be covered. An emphasis will be placed on problem solving of multiple<br />

step and multiple concept questions. In addition, some topics of interest to the students such as astrophysics, relativity, in-depth<br />

nuclear physics and the grad theory will be explored. Books such as Steven Hawkings’ A Brief History in Time or Brian Green’s The<br />

Elegant Universe will be read.<br />
