I'm all about the snack motivation piece myself.

Tremendous first blog post -- and I learned something new!

Sounds like you're a very well-rounded individual. My wife and daughter are girl scouts. Well, my wife's a troop leader, my daughter's a Daisy. That's close... :-) And there's no such thing as an average student. You are all amazing in unique and fun ways!

Tons of physics in baseball. I high school physics teacher in San Mateo, California, is actually a consultant for the SF Giants. Paul Robinson. He even does some nice physics of baseball videos!

This is a great course to really help you learn to teach yourself as well as self-managing your workload. It can be difficult at times, but after we get into a routine, many students enjoy the independence and the ability to set their own priorities and schedules. I'm hoping you'll find the same!

I think you'll enjoy AP Physics C. It's the course where for the first time many students get to see what's referred to as the "beauty" of science, where the interconnectedness of so many topics you've been studying becomes visible. Welcome to the course!

So glad to hear you're virtually perfect... that will come in handy with all of our challenging content this year. If you would prefer not to do the blog posts (as this first one is already too many), come see me and I can eliminate that requirement for you -- if it's not value-added and the class will be easy anyhow, I'd hate to waste your time with something you don't see value in.

I think it's going to be a great year too! I wonder what could be done as far as the physics of riding horses? Bet there's a ton to explore there...

Excellent first blog post Paperboy! Although we don't cover astrophysics itself in this course, we'll lay a ton of groundwork for future studies... pay special attention to our units on gravity, rotational motion, and believe it or not, much of what we do in E&M will have a strong correlation to applications in astrophysics later. Who's your favorite musician / band?

I'll echo what PaperBoy said. You're right, AP Physics C is a tough class. It'll be a struggle, it'll be frustrating, it'll be hard work, but if you stick with it and do the work, you'll come out better for it on the other said (and don't worry about grades in here -- if you're doing what you're supposed to, it'll take care of itself). PS -- I see you love baking. I love eating. Hmmmmmm........

Name: Einstein's Most Famous Equation Category: Modern Physics Date Added: 2015-09-09 Submitter: FizziksGuy Published on Mar 12, 2015In 1905, Einstein published four papers that radically changed how we look at the world around us. Dubbed Einstein’s “Annus Mirabilis,” or “Year of Wonders,” it gave us revolutionary new ideas about light, atoms and how your frame of reference makes a big difference in your perception. But it was Einstein’s final paper that year that really took the cake. In it, he gave us a deceptively simple idea—that mass and energy were equivalent. He even summed it up for us with the tiny equation E=mc^2. Video by Chris Smith for Symmetry magazine. Einstein's Most Famous Equation

Hi Gretch. The APlusPhysics Regents Physics videos which are on this site and on YouTube are also available in DVD form from Amazon.com. Just search for "APlusPhysics DVD". There's a series of 7 DVDs that cover the entire course. Good luck! http://www.amazon.com/APlusPhysics-Video-Guide-Regents-Physics/dp/B007R55IQW/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1441380386&sr=8-6&keywords=APlusPhysics+DVD
