Course Description:

AP Physics 2 is an algebra‑based, introductory college‑level physics course that builds on foundational concepts from AP Physics 1. Students deepen their understanding of physics through classroom study, inquiry-driven activities, and hands‑on laboratory work as they explore fluids, thermodynamics, electric force and fields, circuits, magnetism, optics, and modern physics. The course emphasizes systems, interactions, and conservation principles while developing strong scientific reasoning and problem‑solving skills.
