[quote=Anonymous]Just to be clear AP Physics 1 isn't an "easier" course than AP Physics C. Just look at the pass rates. It may "only" be algebra based, but in reality there is very little mathematical problem solving. Instead it is conceptual analysis of complex situations. Students really have to understand the underlying physics concepts in order to do well. AP Physics C is more focused on problem solving, and students who make it to Calculus tend to be more analytical in their thinking and better suited to physics thinking in general. But back to OP's question - AP Physics 1 pairs well with students who are in Honors Precalculus. They will have already had the trigonometry from Algebra 2, and if the teacher delays circular motion until January, the Honors Precalculus class will have covered the math part in December. [/quote]
