Prerequisites: Physics 1 or a comparable physics introductory course AP Physics 2 is the second year of a two year Physics sequence that builds on the six big ideas that are developed in the AP Physics 1 course. Additionally, students learn how the mathematics of probability can be used to describe the behavior of complex systems and how to interpret the behavior of quantum mechanical systems. These big ideas are developed through inquiry and experimentation similar to AP Physics 1. All students are encouraged to take the associated Advanced Placement exam and may earn college credit if a qualifying score is achieved.

Grades: 12
