AP Physics I Syllabus Notes

  • 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

    • The teacher should be notified of any abscences.

    • Students will be given two warnings for misbehavior before being removed from the class.

    • Students are expected to use integrity on school assignments. (No plagiarism, A.I., copy-pasting info, etc.)

    • Students must turn in work on-time(unless they are both sick and absent)

      • They would have a week to submit the work for full credit in that scenario

      • It is up to the student to complete assignments ahead of time in the case of known abscences.

    • Retakes will only occur if a student has scored below a 65% on an assessment.

      • The student must initiate, remediate, and complete the assessment within a week. The highest grade that can be earned is a 65%.

    • Grading Categories are as follows:

      • Homework(10%)

      • Classwork(25%)

      • Quizzes/Labs(30%)

      • Tests/Projects(35%)
