Students already enrolled in the regular Physics course will attend small-enrollment chat sessions to review course material in greater depth, complete more difficult assignments, and report laboratory experiences in preparation for the May AP Physics B Examination. The syllabus for this course has been reviewed by the College Board and this course is authorized to use the AP designation. Starting in Fall, 2007, only courses whose syllabi meet the rigorous standards of the College Board's review team of college and university professors can be listed on transcripts as AP courses.

Prerequisites

Concurrent enrollment in the regular Physics course is required. Prior physical science at the junior high level covering basic mechanics, dynamics, electricity and magnetism, and optics.

Recommended background

Students should be able to work independently and adher to a rigorous study schedule.

Teacher's notes:

Class meetings will be arranged to fit into students' schedules. Please read through my SAT and AP Examination overview before deciding to take this option. Also consult the College Board AP Phyics B site to learn more about expectations for the examination.
