2 Course Description: Advanced Placement Physics C: Mechanics is for the student desiring a first semester calculus-based collegelevel physics course. Topics to be covered during this course range from kinematics, Newton s laws of motion, work, energy, and power, linear momentum, circular motion, and oscillations and gravitation. The laboratory is a vital part of this course that will assist in the hands-on learning of physical phenomenon through making observations, recording and analyzing quantitative data, and communicating conclusions through these results. Students will be expected to take the Advanced Placement Examination in Physics C: Mechanics and may be able to earn college credit or advanced standing based upon the scored earned on the examination. The entire course of study will have an emphasis and devotion to the deep understanding of each topic. Upon completion of this course the students will have mastery of the following: Read, understand, and interpret verbal, mathematical, and graphical physical information. Describe and explain the sequence of steps in the analysis of a particular physical phenomenon or problem. Use mathematical reasoning in a physical situation or problem. Perform experiments and interpret the results of observations, including making an assessment of experimental uncertainties. Laboratory: The laboratory is a crucial part of the AP Physics C: Mechanics course since this is the place where students will learn about physical phenomenon, situations, and problems with hands-on qualitative and quantitative observations. Students are engaged in hands-on laboratory work, integrated throughout the course, which accounts for a minimum of 20 percent of the course. Students will keep a laboratory notebook according to proper documentation procedures set forth by the instructor. Under the completion of the laboratory component of this course the students will be provided the opportunity to master the following: The inquiry process of laboratory investigations including the formulation of strategies to develop and test hypotheses Physical manipulations of equipment and quantitative measuring of such equipment (including computerbased laboratory equipment such as Vernier LabQuests, Vernier Probes, and Vernier s LoggerPro software). Processes and procedures of physical situations including observations and analysis of data Group collaboration and formal laboratory records and reports including scientific research, report, and display of results Physical understanding of problems and questions set forth by and/or in the laboratory Develop, record, and maintain evidence of their verbal, written, and graphic communication skills through laboratory reports, summaries of literature or scientific investigations, and oral, written, and graphic presentations. Students are provided the opportunity to engage 21 hands-on laboratory experiments integrated throughout the course while using computer-based laboratory equipment to support the learning objectives listed within the AP Physics C Course Description. Students will work independently or in groups of two depending upon the laboratory. They will collect, process, manipulate, and graph data from both qualitative and quantitative observations. Inquiry laboratories will be used in many of the experiment that will enable students to design, carry out, and analyze data using guided inquiry principles. A minimum of 4 unit projects will be completed by students that will allow for improved understanding of physical phenomenon as well as collection and analyzing of quantitative data while improving upon their design. 2 P a g e

Homework Students will complete set of multiple choice and/or free response homework questions along with the reading of a physics text to gain greater understanding through unit topics of study. Homework will be assessed by homework quizzes at the end of each week as to measure and further develop deeper understanding. Tests: Timed multiple choice and free response tests will be administered at the culmination of each unit. Questions will cover content knowledge in a cumulative fashion to assess student understanding. Tests will be graded with the use of a rubric similar to found in Advanced Placement Physics C: Mechanics exam questions and timed as such. Students will have to apply mathematical and physical scientific knowledge to solve problems set forth over the topics articulated in the Advanced Placement Physics C Course Description. Whiteboarding: Whiteboarding of AP Free Response problems both individually and in pairs is a critical component of the AP Physics C: Mechanics course. Each week, one to two days will allow students to utilize collaboration, problem solving, and visual demonstration of understanding through past AP Exam questions. Therefore, an engaged lecture will be kept to approximately one day per week to teach the difficult physics problems that often incorporate differential and integral calculus within the solution. Grading Scale: 50% - Tests 25% - Classwork (Laboratory Work, Laboratory Notebooks, and Unit Projects) 25% - Homework Quizzes 3 P a g e
