AP Correlations for Advanced Physics with Vernier – Beyond Mechanics
We have correlated experiments in Advanced Physics with Vernier – Beyond Mechanics to the course content in the Acorn booklet.
Beginning with courses offered in the 2014-2015 school year, the College Board’s AP* Physics Curriculum Framework will shift from a more traditional content-based model to one that focuses on seven Big Ideas, the Enduring Understandings comprised of the major concepts under each Big Idea, and the Essential Knowledge necessary to support these concepts. Science Practices are emphasized throughout the course.

AP Physics 1 and 2 Big Ideas | Advanced Physics with Vernier – Beyond Mechanics Investigations | |
---|---|---|
1 | Objects and systems have properties such as mass and charge Systems may have internal structure. | 6, 9, 10 |
2 | Fields Existing in space can be used to explain interactions. | 7,8 |
3 | The interactions of an object with other objects can be described by forces. | 7 |
4 | Interactions between systems can result in changes in those systems. | 6, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14 |
5 | Changes that occur as a result of interactions are constrained by conservation laws. | 1, 2, 6, 10, 21, 22 |
6 | 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. | 3, 4, 5, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 |
7 | The mathematics of probability can be used to describe the behavior of complex systems and to interpret the behavior of quantum mechanical systems. | 1, 2 |
