Unit Outlines

These outlines are taken directly from the College Board course description for AP Physics B. They are meant to guide you as we progress through the year and as we prepare for the AP exam.  Each topic in the unit outline is aligned with the corresponding section in our textbook (Giancoli Physics 3rd Edition) so you can use the textbook as a resource for further study, if you choose.
