AP Physics 1: Algebra-Based 2025 – Master Motion, Forces & Energy with Hands-On Labs
AP Physics 1: Algebra-Based is a foundational course designed for high school students who want to explore the core principles of physics without requiring calculus. The course covers essential topics like kinematics, dynamics, energy, momentum, rotational motion, oscillations, and fluids, while focusing on real-world applications through labs and problem-solving exercises. With a structured syllabus, hands-on experiments, and exam-specific preparation, AP Physics 1 helps students build strong analytical skills, earn potential college credits, and prepare for advanced STEM programs.
About the Course
AP Physics 1 is an algebra-based course that delves into fundamental physics principles such as kinematics, dynamics, and energy. It encourages students to investigate and answer questions through hands-on laboratory work, exploring phenomena like why objects float or sink, why bicycles are easier to balance when moving fast, or the perception of backward motion when a car overtakes on a highway.
Course Units:
The curriculum for AP Physics 1 is structured into several units, each focusing on specific areas of physics:
- Unit 1: Kinematics - Introduces students to the study of motion.
- Unit 2: Force and Translational Dynamics - Revisits concepts from Unit 1 to explore force as the interaction between objects.
- Unit 3: Work, Energy, and Power – Covers the definitions and relationships between work, energy, and power.
- Unit 4: Linear Momentum – Explores the relationship between force, time, and momentum, and teaches the application of the law of conservation of momentum in physical situations.
- Unit 5: Torque and Rotational Dynamics – Utilises tools, techniques, and models from previous units to analyse rotating bodies and the causes of their rotations.
- Unit 6: Energy and Momentum of Rotating Systems –Explores the energy and momentum of objects rotating around an axis, connecting these concepts to their linear equivalents.
- Unit 7: Oscillations – Applies the learned tools, techniques, and models to analyse simple harmonic motion.
- Unit 8: Fluids –Investigates the behaviour and motion of materials that can change shape and analyses how this behaviour interacts with other objects
