AP Physics
AP Physics is a course covering matter, motion, energy, and force. It uses math to solve physics problems so it's good class if you like and have been successful at math. It's also a very self-directed class that is great for independent workers and self-motivated students. If you're considering majoring in engineering or physical science, it's a great class to get you ready for college-level work.
Here are some reasons you might want to take AP Physics:
Recommended for: 11th and 12th grade
Prerequisite: B or higher in Chemistry, B or higher in Algebra 2, enrollment in Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, or Calculus
Meets UC/CSU requirement: (d) Lab Science: Physical
