AP Physics 1, Calculus-based: Mechanics

by Leave a comment

AP Physics is high school selective courses equivalent to college level introductory physics course. AP Physics C has very low percentage of 5 in all AP exams. Scoring a 5 in AP Physics C will surely make your college applications stand out. It’s possible to waive the equivalent course (4 credits) in college too, with at least a 4.

Each lesson is divided into lectures and exercises, with homework and corrections every week. The last class is the final exam. This course is suitable for students in grades 9-12 who have not taken physics or are learning physics. The content of the course starts from the basic concepts and goes from basic to the deeper. Mathematics requirements: basic algebra （Algebra I is enough but Algebra II is better） to know how to solve simple equations, quadratic equations, coordinate systems and trigonometric functions. Calculus knowledge is required also for this course, although technically you don’t have to learn whole AP Calculus.

Topics covered:

  • Motion in one-dimensional Motion
  • Motion in two-dimensional Motion, Vectors
  • Newton’s Laws of Motion
  • Energy and Energy conservation
  • Momentum and Collisions
  • Circular Motion and Gravitation
  • Rotational motion
  • Vibrations & Waves& Sound

AP Calculus AB & BC

by 2 Comments

 

Advanced Calculus is the high school equivalent of introductory college level Calculus course. 

Advanced Placement Calculus (also known as AP Calculus, simply AB / BC) is a set of two distinct Advanced Placement calculus courses and exams offered by the American nonprofit organization College Board. 

Students should have taken Algebra II or Pre-Cal before they they AP Calculus. It normally takes at least a couple of months to go over the materials and so you should leave enough time before the AP Calculus exam, which is typically scheduled in May. There are two exams：AB and BC. AB is roughly the first semester and BC is roughly the second semester of college level calculus course. BC is a little more advanced but there’s a lot of overlapping between the two. Students could choose to take either of the two exams but normally students with strong math background would just take AP Calculus BC exam.

AP Calculus AB covers basic introductions to limits, derivatives, and integrals. AP Calculus BC covers all AP Calculus AB topics plus additional topics (including more advanced integration techniques such as integration by parts, Taylor series, parametric equations, vector calculus, polar coordinate functions, and curve interpolations).

This Advanced level course will be taught as a combination of two AB/BC syllabi. So students planning to cover either one can take this course.

Topics to be covered:

  • Unit 1: Limits and Continuity
  • Unit 2: Differentiation: Definition and Fundamental Properties
  • Unit 3: Differentiation: Composite, Implicit, and Inverse Functions
  • Unit 4: Contextual Applications of Differentiation
  • Unit 5: Analytical Applications of Differentiation
  • Unit 6: Integration and Accumulation of Change
  • Unit 7: Differential Equations
  • Unit 8: Applications of Integration
  • Unit 9: Parametric Equations, Polar Coordinates, and Vector-Valued Functions
  • Unit 10: Infinite Sequences and Series

What is Physics and Why do we need to learn Physics?

by Leave a comment

Hi, I am Dr. Ken. I have a PhD in Physics and I have been teaching Physics in college for over five years. During these years, I have come to the realization that many students are not prepared to learn physics at college level. Many of them never took physics before college and some of them struggle with math. As a matter of fact, many high schools in this country do not even offer physics courses and those that do often do not have qualified teachers to teach physics. I think this is really a serious problem that would need to be addressed at national scale. But I would like t to do my part to help by teaching physics to high school students.

What is Physics? Physics is the theory of everything. Well, that is a little bit exaggerating, but it has a lot of truth to it. Physics is the study of fundamental interactions between matters or materials, ranging from colossal extraterrestrial planets and galaxies at cosmological scale, as well as teeny-tiny particles that make up everything that we know of. It is probably the most inclusive and most fundamental natural science discipline.

Why do we need to learn Physics? Physics is the most fundamental natural science discipline that builds the basis for other natural sciences, such as chemistry, biology, engineering, etc. Physics answers many important questions from how to produce energy efficiently without harming the environment, to our understanding of our own very existence. If you have a curious mind toward life, or if you want to challenge yourself intellectually, or if you think there’s something in life that is beyond what you see, something eternal that is behind and above all the appearances, then perhaps Physics is the subject for you. Have you wondered why sky looks blue on a sunny day? Why is it hard to walk on icy surface? Why do you feel your heart popping out when you ride a roller-coaster? Or why is that the bolt is always ahead of the thunder? Physics can answer all these questions. Physics is not an easy subject to learn. It requires the mastery of math and logic for the applications of Physical laws and principles. And it takes hard work to be good at it. Do not be intimidated by the stereotype that physics or science is for nerd. It’s this kind of thinking that undermines the foundations of the leading role of US in the continuous innovations in the playfield of the science and technology with other countries.  Physics can be fun and cool. But as it takes a lot of sweating to be good at any sport, it takes a lot of practices in your brain to be good at Physics. I hope you would be all ready for it. And I hope you would understand one day the real fun isn’t in answering the questions itself, but in looking for the answers.

Honors Chemistry

This course will be taught at a level of honors Chemistry. It prepares you to take SAT Chemistry or to take AP Chemistry. But if you plan to take AP Chemistry exam right after this class, it won’t be a good idea because you need more time to practice problems.

AP Chemistry is an elective college course for high school students. It is one of the most difficult courses among all AP courses, second only to AP Physics. Mastering AP Chemistry will make you stand out in college applications, especially those in science and engineering and Pre-Med related majors. If you get 5 or 4 points on the AP exam, you may also be exempted from basic Chemistry course at the university. The course is divided into lectures and exercises. There are homework and corrections every week. The last class is the final exam. This course is suitable for students in grades 8-11 who have taken or are currently taking Honors Chemistry, currently taking AP Chemistry. You must have completed Algebra I before attending the course.  

Course Syllabus：

Atoms, Molecules, and Ions

Stoichiometry

Gases, Liquids, and Solids

Atomic Structure and Properties

Properties of Solutions

Energy: Thermochemistry

Honors Physics 2

by 2 Comments

Honors Physics is a basic physics course suitable for junior high school students and senior high school students. Due to the curriculum arrangement of high schools, many schools only provide physics classes to students 10th grade or above. Students do not have enough time to adapt to the abstract thinking characteristics of physics, and it is difficult to learn well during a short period. Early exposure to physics allows students to have enough time to exercise their logical thinking and problem-solving skills, which can inspire and help other subjects such as chemistry, biology, and engineering. AP Physics and SAT Physics are the hardest tests in standardized tests. This course will help students master the content covered in physics in high school.

Each lesson is divided into lectures and exercises, with homework and corrections every week. The last class is the final exam. This course is suitable for students in grades 7-9 who have not taken physics or are learning physics. The content of the course starts from the basic concepts and goes from basic to the deeper. Mathematics requirements: basic algebra to know how to solve simple equations, quadratic equations, coordinate systems and trigonometric functions.

This is the second semester of the one year sequence of Honors Physics, 2020-2021. You have to take honors physics 1 before you take honors physics 2!

Course Content ：

  • Fluids Mechanics 
  • Thermal Physics/ The Laws of Thermodynamics
  • Vibrations & Waves& Sound 
  • Reflection & Refraction
  • Mirrors & Lenses
  • Wave optics
