This eight-week course is designed to prepare students to take high school general physics or AP physics during the upcoming academic school year. The base knowledge one can acquire in High School Physics Honors, AP Physics 1, and AP Physics C: Mechanics courses is the same except that AP Physics 1 is algebra-based and AP Physics C: Mechanics is calculus-based. We teach concepts using algebra; however, the concepts and problem-solving strategies behind the methods are similar for all high school physics courses. Our course will provide an excellent head start no matter which physics course the student is taking during the upcoming school year; we teach the physics concepts as well as the strategies to solve and simulations for the experience. After taking our course students may be able to bypass High School Physics Honors and go straight for either AP Physics 1 or AP Physics C: Mechanics. Our course also helps students to decide on taking AP Physics 1 or AP Physics C: Mechanics. Preparing for the course in the summer is beneficial because many colleges require an AP Exam score of 4 or 5 to transfer the course for college credit.
Topics to be covered in the class include: Kinematics, Dynamics, Circular Motion and Gravitation, Energy, Momentum, Simple Harmonic Motion, oscillations, Torque and Rotational Motion. We also focus on AP Exam taking strategies and a full-length practice exam will be conducted at the end of the course.
