Over the next few years, students will see many changes in the format of the physics curriculum on campus. Not only will the AP Physics B class be replaced with a rigorous Physics Honors course for the 2014-2015 year, but there is also a potential plan for the addition of an AP Physics C class for the 2015-2016 year.
AP Physics teacher Kirk Davis said that whether the Physics C class will be added depends on how well Physics Honors does next year.
One major concern with adding the Physics AP C class would be that because it is a second-year class, students would need to take a year of physics before the AP Physics C class.
“We don’t know how many students will take Physics a second year,” said Davis.
Assistant principal Brian Safine said the course could be a beneficial addition for those interested in physics.
“The Physics C would be teaching different topics so that would be of appeal to some people,” said Safine.
