IB and AP Physics Course Overview

The video provides an overview of the IB high-level Physics course offered at Southwest High School. It details the course structure, prerequisites, and graduation requirements. The curriculum includes AP Physics topics for both years, covering areas like kinematics, dynamics, fields, and thermodynamics. The IB curriculum is integrated with AP topics, focusing on measurement, waves, and nuclear physics. Students can take AP and IB exams, using formula sheets for preparation. Resources include textbooks and online materials. Lab activities involve high-tech, low-tech, and simulations. Grading is based on exams, homework, group work, and labs.
