I have been teaching AP now for more than 8 years and, of course, I have been writing materials. The amount has grown to rival the physics currculum. It is extensive and growing all the time.
At Grapevine High School I used to teach the old APB. Now I teach APC, EM, and Advanced Physics (our post-AP class).
Cost: $50. This is addition to the Physics materials. I call it an extension because it is in addition to the Physics materials. For example, I can't teach Electrostatics with just my extension materials, I have to start with the PreAP HWs and physics notes/worksheets. There are, however, topics that are not included in the physic curriculum, like fluids and gravitation.
I have materials for APC, EM, and AP2 (though written for APB, it is the same physics). Also, some of my APC materials would be very useful for AP1, since many materials do not use calculus.
Materials (included are notes, homeworks, worksheets, labs, examples, and any quizzes I have written.):
APC: (Given in the order I teach, which is what I call "Calculus-avoidance-mode".)
1 - Rotational; .
2 - Statics; 3 - Kinematics and Vectors; 4 - Forces; 5 - Energy; 6 - Oscillations; 7 - Gravitation; 8 - Momentum.
EM: (Also very useful for AP2)
1. Circuits; 2 - Electrostatics; 3 - Magnetism. (Note: these include materials for both semesters of EM, the non-calculus 1st semester and calculus 2nd semester). These include a lot of capacitors and a bit of Maxwell's Equations.
AP2:
Atomic; Electrostatics and Circuits; Fluids; Magnetism; Optics (including diffraction); Thermodynamics; Waves.
My keys for the APC, EM, and APB tests (many years worth).
My keys for the following textbooks: Giancoli and Tipler for many of the chapters. (I include these because I believe knowing physics is the most important job we have.)
