AP Physics 1 - We Can Do This!

• 3 sewn in composition notebooks - preferably college rule

• Folder with pockets

• Scientific Calculator - I love the solar powered Casio that we use in the classroom.  It's about $15.   You cannot use your phone calculator on assessments.

• Pencils - lots of quality pencils with erasers.  All assignments and assessments are done in pencil.

• Highlighter - one is fine.  We use it for grading in class.  I'll also get some, but if you hate people touching your things, this is your chance to avoid that.

• 1 package of sticky notes - 100.

​

Optional stuff that's helpful:

• Ruler - be sure the numbers won't wear off

• roll of scotch or clear tape

• protractor

• bottle of Advil for when the sheer intensity of the class causes a headache or you get a backache from slaving over a multiple vector problem

• ear plugs to make it easier to do your homework at home where no one understands that you need to be able to think...

• chocolate.  For me, this means dark chocolate.  Like 90%.  Bitter almost.  But it powers me through complex calculations and all the stupid arithmetic mistakes that show up like a plague in every one's work.

​

I also recommend a homework folder.  You can use it for all your classes, but it will help you remember what you need to get done.
