Get Ready for AP Physics 1!

Starts

Taught by a 5 scorer on AP Physics 1, we'll go over everything you need to hit the ground running when the school year starts. We'll go over key prior knowledge as well as a basic overview of every unit so you'll understand exactly what's expected of you during the school year.

AP Physics 1/IB Physics Theme A Crash Course

Starts

We will cover all of AP Physics 1, which aligns with IB Physics Theme A (and some of Theme C). This course is perfect for review before moving on to AP Physics 2, AP Physics C: Mechanics, or IB Physics Year 2. It’s also a great way to get started with physics.

Each session will focus on content that is highly beneficial for both courses. If you’re taking either class, I hope these sessions help you a lot!

AP Physics 1 - Unit 1: Kinematics (GET THAT 5)

Starts

Hello everyone! Taught by an incoming UT engineering student that has scored a 5 on AP Physics 1, we will be covering the 1st unit of the AP Physics 1 course: Kinematics. I will be here to teach you all the new material, as well as engage in practice questions with you all!

AP Physics Help/Study Session

Starts

This is season 2 of my popular help series I held last year! Bring any questions you have about AP Physics or any practice problems you would like to work on!

I cover all AP Physics (AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2, AP Physics C: Mechanics, AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism).

NOTE: Sessions are subject to change and many more will be added after

AP Physics 1 - Unit 1: Kinematics

2nd session

In a three session series, we will go into depth on Unit 1 of the AP Physics pantheon which covers the study of observed motion. This series is created at the request of a learner, so ideally the group size remains small (<10) so that every participating learner is given a chance to receive individualized help! All are welcome!

Get Ready for AP Physics C

2nd session

Welcome to the series "Get Ready for AP Physics C!" Our goal is to prepare you for AP Physics C: Mechanics and AP Physics C: Electricity & Magnetism before the next academic year starts.

Prerequisites: AP Physics 1 (or some introductory physics) and some basics knowledge of Calculus. Note that these are recommended for this series, but all are welcome to learn and participate as able.

AP Physics 1: A Complete Guide for Beginners

3rd session

In this series, we will learn every topic in AP Physics 1 at a beginner level, so you don't need to have any previous knowledge of Physics. Even if you are already acquainted with Physics 1, you can join in for some review. The only thing required is regular attendance to ensure no unnecessary gaps in knowledge.

If you have any questions about the topic, feel free to reach out :)

Torque and Rotational Motion

3rd session

Anyone who needs help with learning about torque and rotational motion in AP Physics 1 is welcome to join. This series will be very flexible so we will do both lessons and help session once in a while.

AP Physics Mechanics Summer Prep

4th session

Sign up for a helpful crash course on AP physics—taught to you by a UCLA engineering student! Mechanics can seem like a daunting subject if you do not know what to expect. However, I am here to demystify this class by guiding you through the big subjects—from kinematics to oscillations. My goal is to not only give you a solid foundation, but to also inspire your interest in physics!
I’ll guide you through all the major units—breaking down the big ideas, core concepts, and commonly seen practice problems. By learning the foundations now, you will walk into your physics class with confidence, making all the difference.
The class structure will consist of 30 minutes of lecture and 30 minutes of practice problems. You are welcome to leave during the second half of the class if you would like to work on the problems yourself. Additionally, you may rejoin if you have any questions as long as it is still within class time.

AP Physics 1 Prep Course

4th session

Each week, we'll talk about how the physical world works: kinematics, forces, motion, energy, momentum, and everything in between.

This course is closely aligned with the AP Physics 1 curriculum, which has been adapted to fit in the semester timeline. These sessions will prepare you for your AP Physics 1 class and the exam you will take in May.

(10:00am EST) Intro to Nuclear Physics

6th session

A little bit about me! I just graduated high school and I'm excited to offer this course in Nuclear Physics. I have taken AP Physics I, II, and C, as well as Modern Physics and two graduate-level physics courses.

This summer course offers an engaging and accessible introduction to nuclear physics. A background in physics is encouraged but not necessary, and the course will begin with review.

Students will explore:
  • Mass-energy equivalence through E=mc2E=mc^2
    
    
  • Nuclear structure and stability
  • Radioactive decay
  • Nuclear reactions
  • Fission, Fusion, and applications in nuclear energy and particle accelerators

I will run this course for up to 7 weeks (based on interest), with 3 one-hour long sessions each week. Each session contains clear and engaging lecture content interspersed with example exercises. The goal of this course is to be conceptually interesting while having enough computation to be useful for students interested in taking similar courses in the future.

After each session, lecture notes as well as optional review materials will be provided to help students revisit key ideas at their own pace.

Ideal for students interested in the subject of Physics or the topic of Nuclear Physics.

Advanced Mechanics Circle | USAPhO Qualifier

14th session

👋👋 We'll look at F=MA's (UsaPho qualification competition) mechanics problems together, starting from basic problems involving introductory kinematics and progressing through more advanced ones with complex mechanics theorems. Don't feel intimidated! I will be learning alongside you because many of these questions are difficult for me😭😭!

Schoolhouse Physics Club

20th session

We're back! After months of silence, the Schoolhouse Physics Club is back, in our new home in the Physics Subworld. "The Pleasure of Finding Things Out", as Feynman said, so let's figure it out! This is the club where all Physics enthusiasts meet on Fridays!

Help with Physics Topics - Ask me anything

40th session

You can ask me for help with problems in Mechanics, Fluid Dynamics, Gravitation, Electricity & Magnetism, Thermodynamics, Waves, Optics, or basics of Quantum Mechanics. I can help with any AP Physics course, and as a USAPhO qualifier and silver medalist, I can assist with competitive physics problems. I am knowledgeable in many different Physics Resources and Textbooks, especially for preparing for F=ma and USAPhO exams. I am also well versed in advanced math (multivariable and vector calculus, or linear algebra) that applies to physics.
