AP Physics 2 is an algebra-based course that is representative of topics covered in similar college physics courses, as determined by periodic surveys. The course covers five general areas: fluid mechanics; thermodynamics; electricity and magnetism; optics; atomic and nuclear physics. At least 25% of instructional time is dedicated to hands-on laboratory investigations. Schools could offer this course as a single or a double block class, with extended time for lab inquiry activities. Students are expected to take the AP Physics 2 examination in May. With a satisfactory score, students may be eligible to receive some credit for college-level physics.
