SPH4U1 (1 credit) (AP Physics 1) - Prerequisite: SPH3U

AP Physics 1 is an algebra-based, introductory college-level physics course that covers foundational topics in mechanics like kinematics, forces, and energy, along with an introduction to rotational dynamics, oscillations, and mechanical waves. It emphasizes conceptual understanding and inquiry-based learning to develop scientific reasoning skills, preparing students for the AP exam. The course is the equivalent of a first-semester introductory college physics course and typically requires a concurrent enrollment in Algebra II.
