AP1 is a first-year course. When NGSS assessments are implemented, AP1 students will be assessed on them. So the AP1 outline is being dictated by two masters: The College Board and NGSS.<br /><br />There may be some students who take AP1 and do not go on to AP2 (parish the thought, I know!). I'm choosing not to send them into the world not knowing why the sky is blue or how rainbows work.<br /><br />They'll know what they need to know for AP1. They'll know what they need to know for NGSS. And they'll know what they need to know to make me happy as the person who taught them physics.Dean Bairdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681829220589441713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31189917.post-40406438468350181452014-08-16T11:37:46.595-07:002014-08-16T11:37:46.595-07:00Funny...you finally switch over and now I am going...Funny...you finally switch over and now I am going to try it your old way...thanks to Mr. Randall Knight. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14444075757796692489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31189917.post-29834698857392710242014-08-12T17:57:35.492-07:002014-08-12T17:57:35.492-07:00I've tried both energy and momentum options an...I've tried both energy and momentum options and didn't see any distinct differences.<br /><br />As far as I can see light and optics isn't on AP Physics 1?<br /><br />Anyone posted AP Physics 1 labs yet.
