Welcome Knights Previous Physics Structure Honors Physics AP Physics B AP Physics C - Mechanics AP Physics C - Electricity and Magnetism (E & M) AP Physics B is being divided into two new courses. Both courses are ALGEBRA-BASED. Honors Physics will be discontinued since it is essentially the same class as AP Physics 1. AP Physics 1 (Mechanics) Kinematics Dynamics: Newton’s Laws Circular Motion and Universal Law of Gravitation Simple Harmonic Motion: Pendulum and Mass/Spring Systems Impulse, Momentum, Collisions Work, Energy, Conservation of Energy Electrostatics: Electric Charge and Electric Force DC Currents: Resistors ONLY Mechanical Waves and Sound Torque is the only new concept added to AP Physics 1 that was not covered in Honors Physics. AP Physics 2 (E & M) Thermodynamics: Laws, Ideal Gases, Kinetic Theory Fluid Statics and Dynamics Magnetism and Electromagnetic Induction Electrostatics: E. Force, E. Field and E. Potential DC Circuits and RC Circuits (Steady-State ONLY) Geometric and Physical Optics Quantum Physics, Atomic and Nuclear Physics
Welcome Knights AP PHYSICS 1 The key concepts and content for AP Physics 1 is organ-ized around six principles called “THE BIG IDEAS.” The big ideas encompass the core scientific principles, theories, and processes governing matter and systems. For each big idea, enduring understandings are identified, which incorporate the core concepts that students should retain from the learning experience. We will study these in 8 units
Big Idea 3: Forces Motion Forces Interaction Forces Newton's Third Law Vector Sum of Forces Free-Body Diagrams Simple Harmonic Motion Gravitational Force Electric Force Contact Forces Momentum Impulse Kinetic Energy Torque Rotational Motion Angular Motion Gravitational Forces Big Idea 4: Interactions Linear Motion Position, Velocity & Acceleration Newton's Second Law Linear Momentum Force-Time Graph Total Energy Mechanical Energy Rotating Systems Angular Momentum Angular Momentum, Torque & Time Big Idea 5: Conservation Laws Systems Conservation Laws Object Interactions System Boundaries Single Object Energy Internal Energy Internal Potential Energy Internal Energy of a System Work & Power Kirchhoff's Loop Rule Kirchhoff's Junction Rule Conservation of Linear Momentum Elastic & Inelastic Collisions Center of Mass Conservation of Angular Momentum Angular Momentum Big Idea 6: Waves Transverse & Longitudinal Waves Mechanical & Electromagnetic Waves Wave Amplitude Wave Energy Wave Period & Frequency Wavelength Wave Motion Doppler Effect Wave Superposition Resultant Waves Standing Waves Standing Wave Boundaries Beats AP PHYSICS 1 6 Big Ideas Big Idea 1: Objects & Systems Objects & Systems Objects Electric Charge Positive & Negative Charge Elementary Charge Inertial Mass Gravitational Mass Equivalence Principle Resistivity Big Idea 2: Fields Vector Field Gravitational Force Gravitational Field Strength

AP Physics 1 What is Physics? Physics is the science of matter, energy, space and time. It explain matter as combinations of particles which interact through the 4 major forces (strong nuclear, weak nuclear, gravity, electromagnetic).
AP Physics 1 Why Physics? Physics helps us understand everyday problems
AP Physics 1 We understand what the impact of collisions when we drop our phones.
AP Physics 1 Without physics there would be no: Grocery store scanners Space rockets Light bulbs Trains, planes, automobiles DVD’s, CD’s, MP3’s, i…anything Cameras, computers, flat screen TV’s …YOU GET THE IDEA
AP Physics 1 Physics gives us the numbers we need to know in order to build, construct, fire, shoot, explode, collide, combine, or gently place together any objects.
AP Physics 1 What is learned here – leaves here • Even if you will never take another physics class again • Note Skills • Reading Comprehension • Problem Solving Skills • Relationships
AP Physics 1 We are a team – please don’t be afraid to help me out – on occasion I do make mistakes. This is not about me – it’s about YOU. I graduated from High School, College, etc. I’m here to help you. Please don’t be offended if I get your name wrong – I can’t remember my own kids names!
AP Physics 1 We conduct many “white-boarding” sessions. The main purpose is to discuss and share information – NOT to be correct (right away). Students must supply their own markers
Required Materials • 5x5 quad ruled composition notebook ($1 from me) • White-board markers (your own) • Black pens ONLY (blue in lab book will not be accepted) • Your OWN scientific calculator (phones do not count) • Special binder or place for all the handouts • Keep all handouts, notes, quizzes, labs etc. • Flash Cards (100 to start with) students will complete the flashcards as we go with each concept/formula
Grading Tests & Quizzes 60% Labs, Projects, Worksheets/Homework 40% Lab Practicums will have an objective (meeting this objective will be part of the lab score). 1st & 2nd Quarter = 80% Comp. Sem. Exam = 20% Same for 3/4 Quarters and Comprehensive Final Exam Grades can be accessed online at any time I do not round up grades (district does .95) 2 4 3 5 1 AP Exam is normalized
Homework Homework is randomly collected and graded so it is EXPECTED to be done (accountability). Analogy: Homework is our practice Professional Basketball players practice 40 hours a week for a couple of games
EXAMS If Homework problems are our practice sessions, then Exams are like our championship games! Exams will contain 80% new information and 20% review information. Each exam will also contain an AP level FRQ. Semester exams will be comprehensive.
Attendance Your grade will reflect your attendance – especially in a laboratory class. It is YOUR responsibility to get missed work!
Technology • MUST ask for Permission to be used during class • Must be used for classwork – other uses will result in confiscation and turning into the office • No game-based systems allowed • Does NOT take the place of a scientific calculator • Use during an exam or lab will result in a zero!
Reading • All reading will be done outside of the classroom. • The textbook is college level and semi-difficult. • Reading Guides will be provided for each unit. • It is expected that the assigned material will be read and notes will be taken. • This way class time can • be used to clarify notes • and deepen understanding.
Tutoring • Tutoring: Tuesday and Thursday after school • OR by appointment. • I do not have a 1st period • class so I will NOT be • available during SUCCESS.
Respect the room • No FOOD is allowed – it will be thrown away! • Water must be in a bottle with a screw on lid • Nothing in the desks except for white board/eraser • Do NOT write on or remove the learning goal rubric • Be aware of your surroundings • (just because we use cars and balls, does not mean • I want them bouncing or racing all over the room). • I am NOT your mama, • so pick up after yourself
Housekeeping • If you are late to class – you will be marked absent until you show up. • Your parents will get a live update. • You must sign in/out by the bookshelf. • Parents: I may not update the absence (to a tardy) until later in the day • The passing period is to be used for restroom breaks – NOT my class period.
For Your Information Physicists have a wicked sense of humor. It is a running joke among many physicists to answer students internet questions incorrectly. It may SEEM right – because there are a lot of mis-conceptions in physics, but that doesn’t mean it IS right. Take home message: do your OWN work (during class time)
Lab requirements Close toed shoes must be worn on lab days (typically every Wed/Thur) Unlike Chem: hair, goggles, long pants, and gloves are not needed Safety Glasses are required for any lab with potential projectiles No Shoes No Lab No Score
Culminating project At the end of the year, your group will build a Rube Goldberg Project. It will require use of kinetic energy, friction, pulleys, pendulums, forces, electrical energy, etc. More details will come but keep it in mind as you see things that you may want to incorporate into your project.
research • Research has proven the following things are effective: • Schools 600 or > are more effective in graduating students with higher academic skills than larger schools • Our students last year said the transition to college was easy • A recent study showed a majority of students needed remedial college courses before they could take regular college courses • So far, no ACP graduates have needed remedial college courses • Uniforms = increased academic performance • Cornell Notes = increased ACT/AP Scores • Note Summary is the most important part • Peer Review – improved writing skills • Writing is still the weakest overall academic category • FRQ’s will be practiced with each unit (and peer graded)
Modeling • Modeling Instruction organizes the course around a small number of scientific models, thus making the course coherent. • It applies structured inquiry techniques to teaching of basic skills and practices. • Students are able to construct kinematic formulas for themselves and understand where they came from instead of being told to memorize (plug & chug).
Consequences You ALWAYS have a choice – What you CAN’T do is choose your consequences
Classroom procedures Students have the right to learn and Teachers have the right to teach. Therefore, all rules will ensure that those rights are recognized.
