Six Big Ideas:

• Objects and systems(groups of objects) can have properties(such as mass, charge, etc.)

  • Systems can have an internal structure(types and arrangement of various objects)

• Fields(areas where points in space/time are affected by a force) can be used to explain interactions(between lots of stuff)

• Forces(something that alters/maintains the motion of an object/system) can describe interactions between objects and systems

• Interactions between specific systems(groups of objects) can change those systems

• Conservation laws(laws that state that specific properties of specific systems don’t change over time) must be used when considering changes due to specific interactions.

The AP Exam will take place on May 16th, 2025.

Classroom Policies
