AP Physics B- IntroductionIntroductionCourse PhilosophyAdvanced Placement Physics B is qualitatively and quantitatively high level physics course. Fundamental Physics topics are revisited but covered ingreater depth and detail. Advanced level topics are also introduced and explored. Major conceptual areas to be covered include magnetism andelectromagnetic theory, atomic and nuclear physics, kinetic theory and thermodynamics, fluid statics and dynamics as well as an in depth review of thetopics covered in the Lab Physics or Honors Lab Physics courses.Concepts and skills are introduced, refined and reinforced by lectures, demonstrations, and laboratory experiences. Problem solving and technical readingare two of the outside activities required for the successful development of these topics. Computers as well as PASCO Equipment and specializedsoftware are emphasized for their value as research and investigative tools. Advanced Placement Physics B is intended for students of exceptional abilitywho are serious about broadening their understanding of the physical world. This course will provide excellent preparation for continued study of scienceat the college level, and will fully prepare students for the Advanced Placement Physics B Exam. Advanced Placement Physics conforms to the curriculumas suggested by The Advanced Placement Committee of the College Board. It is designed to be the equivalent of a non‐calculus based College LevelPhysics Course.Course DescriptionThe AP Physics B course will begin with observations of objects in motion. The focus will be on multiple representations of motion, the mechanics ofmoving objects and using the scientific method to solve real world problems. As the course progresses, we hope the students will gain an understandingthat the same basic principles and models govern the motion of all objects. They will gain this understanding through the use of various laboratoryactivities involving scenarios and examples that demonstrate these principles. We hope students will also gain a practical understanding of thegravitational force as a universal force and that energy takes many forms and is a property of many substances associated with heat, light, electricity,mechanical motion, sound, nuclei, and the nature chemicals. Students will explore the nature of waves and how their movement impacts us every dayand come to have an understanding that waves have energy and can transfer energy when they interact with matter. During the study of charges,magnetic properties, and electromagnetism, students will be exposed to electromagnetic forces and how they affect matter and energy. Students willhopefully also gain an understanding of the nature of light, its properties, basic optics and how light interacts with matter by transmission, absorption andscattering.Students’ understanding will be evaluated through methods such as pre‐ and post‐test analysis, lab activities, projects, mid‐term and final courseassessment.
