TwuPhysics Physics Lessons / TutorialsThe AP Physics 1 and AP Physics 2 lessons are designed for students who have never had physics before. The AP Physics C lessons are designed for students who are taking pre-calculus concurrently. I strive to put an emphasis on the understanding of physics concepts and analytical problem solving skills.
