Mr. Bennett's favorite resources

AP Physics - specific learning resources

• • https://www.youtube.com/user/MrBPhysics - this is my own YouTube channel, which is frequently updated with instructional video and example problems. It wouldn't be a bad idea at all to subscribe so you're sure to see videos as soon as they're posted. I also do take requests, so let me know if there's a video you want added

  • AP Physics 1 and 2 Sample questions - These are the only sample questions that have been released from the College Board (the company that runs the AP program) specifically for AP Physics 1 and 2. Check back as we go through the course and try the problems you've learned how to do.

  • Albert.io - This is a paid service with hundreds of practice AP Physics 1 and 2 problems and excellent feedback about each one. This is a great way to practice ahead of the AP exam.

  • Previous AP Physics B questions - These are old free response and multiple choice questions from actual AP Physics B exams. They may not be quite the same format as the AP Physics 1 and 2 questions will be, but they'll still be a valuable study resource. Also included are the grading guidelines for each question (extremely useful to get a feel for what they're looking for!).

  • http://www.flippingphysics.com/algebra.html - This is collection of funny, informative videos for algebra-based physics in general (though not specifically AP Physics 1 or 2)

  • https://www.youtube.com/user/FlippedPhysics/featured - My English brother from another mother, David - really high quality videos, excellent explanations, powerful demos, and an accent to boot!

  • https://www.khanacademy.org/science/physics - Khan Academy is a well-known resource for videos and practice problems. While these aren't specifically geared to AP Physics, you'll find plenty of useful things on this site.

  • http://www.aplusphysics.com/courses/ap-1/AP1_Physics.html - Videos that have been adapted and organized for the new AP Physics 1 curriculum. Many of these are lecture style videos, and generally are nice, brief explanations of topics.

Other learning resources

These are some of the YouTube channels and news feeds that I subscribe to and learn from on a regular basis. While these aren't necessarily tied to the curriculum we're working in, they are all great ways to stay excited about science!

• • Minute Physics - stick figure stop motion to describe everything you can imagine from a very knowledgeable and creative man

  • Veritasium - One of my favorite YouTube channels - "the science video blog from atoms to astrophysics!" There is a great deal of thought put into making these videos interesting and in a format that is conducive to learning. Lots of cool topics covered and a great community of followers who comment and discuss the questions posed by the videos.

  • Vsauce - The leap from idea to idea style of these videos keeps them interesting. I'm always amazed at the obscure information Michael finds to include here and the thoroughness with which he cites sources.

  • SciShow - Hank and I would probably be instant best friends if we ever met. This channel does a mixture of general science ideas, calculations for some really interesting situations, and current science news.

  • Physics Girl - More of a physics woman ... absolutely awesome explanations! She does some really cool experiments on camera and talks through the physics at a level nearly anyone could understand.
