IB Physics I

  This is a fast-paced course that is the first of a two year IB Physics sequence preparatory to the higher or standard level IB physics examination, and the AP B test in physics (with some outside preparation) The first year (IB Physics I) will prepare students for the AP C test (in mechanics only) if taken concurrently with Calculus.
    IB Physics I covers all of mechanics (Linear motion, Projectile motion, Dynamics, Energy, Momentum, Gravity and circular motion, and Statics) and waves and thermal. There is an emphasis on problem solving, numerical manipulation, and laboratory skills. Non-IB students are welcome, but they must be willing to keep pace with the IB syllabus. There is a required field trip near the end of the year to Oaks Amusement Park.
