1 COURSE SYLLABUS Course Title: AP Physics Department: Science, Technology and Engineering Primary Course Materials: Holt Physics, 2002, Ti Nspire of 84 handheld Course Description: This course is an intensive study of the physical laws of nature. Theories will be developed concerning experimental data in the areas of mechanics, fluid mechanics, oscillations and waves, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, optics, and modern physics. Laboratory exercises will provide data for analysis and verification of physical laws. This course meets for five out of seven days per the new high school schedule. It is assumed that the student will be adequately prepared in Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry. For more information, students are invited to browse through the text, chat with the instructors and sit in on several classes. Essential Questions: 1) How can students develop an understanding of linear motion? 2) How can students build an understanding of two-dimensional motion? 3) How can students develop an understanding of forces? 4) How can we develop an understanding of Newton's Laws of Motion? 5) How can students develop an understanding of the nature of mechanical energy and its conservation? 6) How will students build an understanding of impulse, momentum and conservation of momentum? 7) How can students develop an understanding of circular motion, universal gravitation and how they work together? 8) How can students understand rotational equilibrium and dynamics of circular motion? 9) How can students understand fluid flow and its behavior? 10) How can students gain a basic understanding of special relativity? 11) How can students understand and visualize electric fields and forces? 12) How can students understand electric potential energy, electric potential and potential difference? 13) How can students understand current electricity and how to control it? 14) How can students analyze simple resistive circuits? 15) How can students understand magnets and their relationship to current electricity? 16) How can students understand where electricity is generated, how it is generated and how this relates to motors and generators? 17) How can students understand wave properties that make up the foundation of sound and light? 18) How will students understand how sound is created and how it behaves? 19) How can students understand what light is and how it interacts with mirrors? 20) How can students understand light traveling through a medium? 21) How can students understand wave interactions with other waves or obstacles? 22) How can students gain in introductory understanding of quantum physics? 23) How can students understand the relationship between heat, work and internal energy for a simple heat engine or heat pump? Course Objectives: To answer the essential questions through inquiry based lab experiments, thoughtful class discussions, elaborate use of technology, and use common assessment to measure outcomes. 10/25/

Learning Standards from the Massachusetts Curriculum Framework: I. Content Standards 1. Motion and Forces 1.1 Compare and contrast vector quantities (e.g., displacement, velocity, acceleration force, linear momentum) and scalar quantities (e.g., distance, speed, energy, mass, work). 1.2 Distinguish between displacement, distance, velocity, speed, and acceleration. Solve problems involving displacement, distance, velocity, speed, and constant acceleration. 1.3 Create and interpret graphs of 1-dimensional motion, such as position vs. time, distance vs. time, speed vs. time, velocity vs. time, and acceleration vs. time where acceleration is constant. 1.4 Interpret and apply Newton s three laws of motion. 1.5 Use a free-body force diagram to show forces acting on a system consisting of a pair of interacting objects. For a diagram with only co-linear forces, determine the net force acting on a system and between the objects. 1.6 Distinguish qualitatively between static and kinetic friction, and describe their effects on the motion of objects. 1.7 Describe Newton s law of universal gravitation in terms of the attraction between two objects, their masses, and the distance between them. 1.8 Describe conceptually the forces involved in circular motion. 2. Conservation of Energy and Momentum 2.1 Interpret and provide examples that illustrate the law of conservation of energy. 2.2 Interpret and provide examples of how energy can be converted from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy and vice versa. 2.3 Describe both qualitatively and quantitatively how work can be expressed as a change in mechanical energy. 10/25/
3 2.4 Describe both qualitatively and quantitatively the concept of power as work done per unit time. 2.5 Provide and interpret examples showing that linear momentum is the product of mass and velocity, and is always conserved (law of conservation of momentum). Calculate the momentum of an object. 3. Heat and Heat Transfer 3.1 Explain how heat energy is transferred by convection, conduction, and radiation. 3.2 Explain how heat energy will move from a higher temperature to a lower temperature until equilibrium is reached. 3.3 Describe the relationship between average molecular kinetic energy and temperature. Recognize that energy is absorbed when a substance changes from a solid to a liquid to a gas, and that energy is released when a substance changes from a gas to a liquid to a solid. Explain the relationships among evaporation, condensation, cooling, and warming. 3.4 Explain the relationships among temperature changes in a substance, the amount of heat transferred, the amount (mass) of the substance, and the specific heat of the substance. 4. Waves 4.1 Describe the measurable properties of waves (velocity, frequency, wavelength, amplitude, and period) and explain the relationships among them. Recognize examples of simple harmonic motion. 4.2 Distinguish between mechanical and electromagnetic waves. 4.3 Distinguish between the two types of mechanical waves, transverse and longitudinal. 4.4 Describe qualitatively the basic principles of reflection and refraction of waves. 4.5 Recognize that mechanical waves generally move faster through a solid than through a liquid and faster through a liquid than through a gas. 4.6 Describe the apparent change in frequency of waves due to the motion of a source or a receiver (the Doppler effect). 5. Electromagnetism 5.1 Recognize that an electric charge tends to be static on insulators and can move on and in conductors. Explain that energy can produce a separation of charges. 5.2 Develop qualitative and quantitative understandings of current, voltage, resistance, and the connections among them (Ohm s law). 5.3 Analyze simple arrangements of electrical components in both series and parallel circuits. Recognize symbols and understand the functions of common circuit elements (battery, connecting wire, switch, fuse, resistance) in a schematic diagram. 5.4 Describe conceptually the attractive or repulsive forces between objects relative to their charges and the distance between them (Coulomb s law). 5.5 Explain how electric current is a flow of charge caused by a potential difference (voltage), and how power is equal to current multiplied by voltage. 5.6 Recognize that moving electric charges produce magnetic forces and moving magnets produce electric forces. Recognize that the interplay of electric and magnetic forces is the basis for electric motors, generators, and other technologies. 6. Electromagnetic Radiation 6.1 Recognize that electromagnetic waves are transverse waves and travel at the speed of light through a vacuum. 6.2 Describe the electromagnetic spectrum in terms of frequency and wavelength, and identify the locations of radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet), ultraviolet rays, x-rays, and gamma rays on the spectrum. 10/25/
