AP Physics 1/C-Mechanics: covers kinematics, Newton's laws, work, energy, power, impulse/momentum and oscillation. There is no formal prerequisite for AP Physics 1, but it would be beneficial to have completed geometry and be concurrently taking Algebra II or an equivalent course. With the choice of taking five extra lectures after completing the AP Physics 1 course, the course will fully cover the calculus-based parts in AP Physics C-Mechanics. 

AP Physics 2: covers fluid statics and dynamics, thermodynamics with kinetic theory, PV diagrams and probability, electrostatics, circuits with capacitors, magnetic fields, electromagnetism, physical and geometric optics, and quantum, atomic, and nuclear physics.  Before you begin AP Physics 2, you will need to have completed AP Physics 1 or a comparable introductory physics class. You should also have taken or be taking concurrently pre-calculus or the equivalent.

AP Calculus BC: covers basic introductions to limits, derivatives, and basic integrals, and advanced integrals such as integration by parts, Taylor series, parametric equations, vector calculus, polar coordinate functions, and curve interpolations. 

AP Physics C-Electricity & Magnetism: covers electrostatics, conductors, capacitors, and dielectrics, electric circuits, magnetic fields, and electromagnetism while using differential and integral calculus throughout the course. Students should be prepared for college-level calculus-based work and must at minimum have taken or be concurrently taking calculus.
