Online Resources Recommended by AP Teachers
We surveyed AP Physics teachers about what online resources they recommend, and the list below comes directly from their responses. The list also includes teacher descriptions of the resources. This is not a comprehensive list, nor is it an endorsement of any of these resources by the College Board.
- Instructional videos for students; online instructions tutorials/resources pages for teachers
- Free online resource that focuses on problem solving, understanding, and real-world applications.
- Instructional videos for students
- A collection of videos set in a "classroom" setting that explore topics in AP Physics 1 and 2. Videos cover scenarios as well as FRQ questions and more.
- Instructional videos for students
- A collection of videos set in a "classroom" setting that explore every topic in the AP Physics 1 course. Videos cover scenarios, free-response questions, and more.
- Instructional videos for students
