AP Physics 1: Algebra-Based

This is the core document for this course. Unit guides clearly lay out the course content and skills and recommend sequencing and pacing for them throughout the year. The CED was updated in the fall of 2021 to reflect the reduced scope of the course and now covers Unit 1 (Kinematics) through Unit 7 (Torque and Rotational Motion). 

Review the released free-response questions.

Teachers are invited to preview the revised curriculum framework for Physics 1 and Physics 2. It’s been developed to create a more unified approach across all four AP Physics courses and to more accurately reflect the current expectations of introductory college courses. We'll provide further information in fall 2022 on the timing and launch of the revised framework.
