College Physics for AP® Courses

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Take a look at an organized physics course. The 34-section electronic textbook covers material in AP® Physics 1 and 2. Teachers use the text to supplement lectures and have the class work through the labs. Each section contains multiple lesson, conceptual questions, problems, and exercises along with test prep items. Pupils use the text to provide background information and examples of the physics material they learn in class.
