Template:Advanced Placement Advanced Placement (AP) Physics 1, along with AP Physics 2, are year long AP courses designed by the College Board to replace AP Physics B in the 2014 - 2015 school year. The courses were formed through collaboration between current Advanced Placement teachers and The College Board, with the guidance of the National Research Council and the National Science Foundation. Similar to AP Physics C the course is said to cover the material of a first semester university undergraduate physics course offered at a typical American university, but with an algebra based curriculum as opposed to the AP Physics C calculus based curriculum.

History

The first AP Physics 1 classes are planned to begin in the fall of the 2014-2015 school year, with the first AP exams administered in May 2015. As of August 2013 AP summer institutes, the College Board professional development course for Advanced Placement and Pre-AP teachers, will dedicate 20% of the total to preparing AP Physics B educators for the new AP physics course. Face to face workshops sponsored by the College Board will begin to focus 20% their content on the new course as soon as September 2013. In February 2014 the official course description and sample curriculum resources will be posted to the College Board website, with 2 practice exams being posted the next month. As of September 2014 face to face workshops will be dedicated solely to AP Physics 1 & AP Physics 2. The full course will be taught starting in 2014, and the exam will be given 2015.

Curriculum

The College Board has released a "Curriculum Framework" which includes the 7 principles on which the new AP Physics courses will be based as well as smaller "Enduring Understanding" concepts:

"7 big ideas" in the curriculum framework

Big Idea	Enduring Understanding
Objects and systems have properties such as mass and charge. Systems may have internal structure.
	The internal structure of a system determines many properties of the system
	Electric charge is a property of an object or system that affects its interactions with other objects or systems containing charge.
	Electric charge is a property of an object or system that affects its interactions with other objects or systems containing charge.
	Materials have many macroscopic properties that result from the arrangement and interactions of the atoms and molecules that make up the material
Fields existing in space can be used to explain interactions
	A field associates a value of some physical quantity with every point in space. Field models are useful for describing interactions that occur at a distance (long–range forces) as well as a variety of other physical phenomena
	A gravitational field is caused by an object with mass
The interactions of an object with other objects can be described by forces.
	All forces share certain common characteristics when considered by observers in inertial reference frames
	Classically, the acceleration of an object interacting with other objects can be predicted by using ${\vec {a}}={\frac {\sum {\vec {F}}}{m}}$
	At the macroscopic level, forces can be categorized as either long–range (action–at–a–distance) forces or contact forces.
	A force exerted on an object can change the momentum of the object.
	A force exerted on an object can change the kinetic energy of the object.
	A force exerted on an object can cause a torque on that object.
	Certain types of forces are considered fundamental.
Interactions between systems can result in changes in those systems.
	The acceleration of the center of mass of a system is related to the net force exerted on the system, where ${\vec {a}}={\frac {\sum {\vec {F}}}{m}}$
	Interactions with other objects or systems can change the total linear momentum of a system.
	Interactions with other objects or systems can change the total energy of a system.
	A net torque exerted on a system by other objects or systems will change the angular momentum of the system.
Changes that occur as a result of interactions are constrained by conservation laws.
	Certain quantities are conserved, in the sense that the changes of those quantities in a given system are always equal to the transfer of that quantity to or from the system by all possible interactions with other systems.
	The energy of a system is conserved
	The electric charge of a system is conserved.
	The linear momentum of a system is conserved.
	The angular momentum of a system is conserved
Waves can transfer energy and momentum from one location to another without the permanent transfer of mass and serve as a mathematical model for the description of other phenomena
	A wave is a traveling disturbance that transfers energy and momentum.
	A periodic wave is one that repeats as a function of both time and position and can be described by its amplitude, frequency, wavelength, speed, and energy
