AP Environmental Science
AP Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary course where students examine the natural world and environmental problems. The College Board states, "The goal of the AP Environmental Science course is to provide students with the scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships of the natural world, to identify and analyze environmental problems both natural and human-made, to evaluate the relative risks associated with these problems, and to examine alternative solutions for resolving and/or preventing them." Prerequisites for this course...
AP Physics 1 and 2
|
AP Physics 1 is an algebra-based, introductory college-level physics course that explores topics such as Newtonian mechanics (including rotational motion); work, energy, and power; mechanical waves and sound; and introductory, simple circuits. Through inquiry-based learning, students will develop scientific critical thinking and reasoning skills.
AP Physics 2 is a continuation of physics concepts beyond mechanics and includes topics such as fluids, optics, gas laws, and Modern Physics. It is recommended that a student considering a STEM career take both AP Physics 1 and 2. |
