[quote=Anonymous]AP Physics 1 teacher here. I do NOT recommend taking AP1 until after successful completion of Honors Algebra 2 and concurrently with Honors Precalculus. AP1 is not easy plug-and-chug simple algebraic problem solving. It is complex algebraic reasoning with multiple equations to describe complex situations and how they change under different conditions. They need to be very comfortable with multi-variable functions, and not just simple linear relationships. They also need the unit circle/trigonometry taught in precalculus. (Timing works well - the AP1 unit comes after the Precalc unit.) If your daughter wants double science, have her double up with Honors Physics. If she decides she likes it, she should take AP Physics C senior year, concurrently with AP Calculus. [/quote]
