AP Physics 1: Algebra-Based: Chat with a Content Expert
We’re set up to help! Schools can schedule both one-to-one and group Zoom chats with a content expert about offering AP Physics 1.
Whether you’re considering AP Physics 1, have committed to offering it and want practical advice on getting started, or have questions about what the course offers your students and how it supports your school’s goals, our content experts can help.
You can schedule a one-to-one Zoom chat for your own questions, or a group chat to bring teachers and school leaders into the same conversation, so everyone hears the same answers. There’s no charge and no commitment to decide anything.
You can ask the experts:
- What your school or district should consider before adopting AP Physics 1, including how the course aligns with your state’s standards
- How AP Physics 1 fits in your math and science sequences, and which grade level should take it
- What teachers should do to prepare to teach AP Physics 1, and what resources are available to support a successful course launch
- What the student laboratory experience involves, including how much of the year is devoted to hands-on investigations and what that means for your schedule and facilities
- How students build fluency across multiple representations: graphs, diagrams, equations, and written explanations
- What instructional shifts matter most when moving from a traditional or honors physics section to AP Physics 1, and how to support students who are new to advanced coursework
- What the AP Physics 1 Exam assesses, and how to align instruction and formative assessments to it
