- summary: AP Physics 1 is a college-level, algebra-based course that explores the fundamental principles of physics through hands-on investigation and real-world application. Students study topics such as motion, forces, energy, momentum, rotation, waves, and simple circuits. The course emphasizes conceptual understanding, critical thinking, and problem-solving using mathematical relationships and experimental data. With a strong focus on inquiry-based learning, students design experiments, analyze results, and build a deep understanding of how the physical world works. AP Physics 1 prepares students for further study in science and engineering by developing both theoretical and practical scientific skills.
