2.01 Advanced Kinematics Schedule

PAGETOP BULLETIN: Stuff you need for AP Physics 2 class
1. Physics 1 Binder: This is your most important textbook in AP Physics 2. - 2. Scientific Calculator. Nothing fancy required; a TI-30Xa. would be great. - 3. Three-ring binder, 1.5in (or two 1in.--one for each semester). You may choose to add AP Physics 2 things to your Physics 1 binders. - 4. A small ruler and protractor. I recommend the ruler-protractor combination. You would be wise to get one of those little zippered pencil pouch things that can be attached in the 3-ring binder. Those ruler-protractors can be pretty fragile. - 5. Pencils. The pencil is the preferred writing utensil in AP Physics 2.
