About

I'll be continuing my last two sessions with this thread. Every Tuesday - 7pm EST. We covered basic kinematics and derived equations, looked at units on the x-axis/y-axis and understood why equations make sense, and analyzed graphs to decipher a particle's motion. We will be doing some practice questions with kinematics. We will be tackling every other unit in AP Physics 1 with the same type of methodology - - intuitive/conceptual learning, practice, questions, more practice, and graphical analysis! We will also work our way through numerous AP Test Style practice problems, and how to tackle them.
