Honors (& AP®) Physics 2

search MrBigler.com:

 

Honors & AP® Physics 2: Algebra-Based is a second-year physics course designed for high school students in grade 12 who have completed Honors or AP® Physics 1. The course covers the topics and concepts typically included in the second semester of an algebra-based, introductory college-level physics course. Topics include fluid statics & fluid dynamics, thermal physics & thermodynamics, electricity & magnetism (including RC circuits and electromagnetic induction), light & optics, and modern (quantum, atomic & nuclear). The course focuses on high-level understanding of concepts and experimental design, and prepares students for the AP Physics 2 exam in May.

Online Course Sites

Schoology

The Lynn Public Schools uses Schoology as its Learning Management System (LMS). All of the required course content except for tests will be available in Schoology.

MOODLE

In 2006 (long Before Schoology existed), I setup my own MOODLE site, which I have used ever since. (Moodle is another LMS that has been around since the 1990s.) Because MOODLE has more options for giving tests, including test banks and customizeable questions, you will be taking tests for this course on my MOODLE site. I have created an account for you (using your LPS username). You will need to make sure that you can log into MOODLE (your starter password is your student ID) as well as Schoology.


Text & Reference

These are books and other useful reference materials for Honors Physcis 2.

  • AP® Physics 2 Class Notes by Mr. Bigler (your class notes for the entire year; 612 pages)
    • downloadable PDF file (14.9 MB; this is about the size of 5 pictures on your phone)
    • paperback book self-published using Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing. List price is $14.99 plus tax & shipping. However, I do a bulk order at the beginning of the year so my students can get copies at cost (about $10), so if you are my student, talk to me before you order from Amazon.
  • Physics Reference Tables (your formula & reference sheet for the entire year)

Practice Questions

These are released questions from previous AP® exams and other documents from the College Board. Note that the AP® Physics B questions are similar to questions on the AP® Physics 2 exam, but the format of the exam and questions has changed. Note also that the old AP® Physics B course included topics from both AP® Physics 1 and AP® Physics 2.
