AP Physics 1
AP Physics 1 topics appear in 15 Scivra investigations. This collection groups the catalog's existing unit references so students and teachers can connect a topic with an interactive model, a public investigation guide, and questions for comparing predictions with evidence.

Physics
Newton's Second Law
A hanging mass pulls a cart over a pulley. What sets the acceleration?
Physics
Friction on an Incline
Tilt the ramp until the block starts to slide. Find the coefficients of friction.
Physics
Circular Motion
What pulls an object around a curve? Measure the pull of a string and the push of a track.
Physics
Pendulums & Springs
Which changes the period: mass, length, or how far you pull? Then time a wobbling balance on Earth and in orbit.
Earth Science
Mars, Orbits & Kepler's Laws
Plot Mars night by night. Why does it loop backward, and what shape is its orbit?

AP Physics 1 Unit 4
AP Physics 1 Unit 5
AP Physics 1 Unit 6
Physics
Rolling Race
A hoop, a disk, and a ball race down a ramp. Predict the winner, then find out what decides it.
Physics
Angular Momentum
Pull in your arms on a spinning stool. What changes, and what stays the same?
Earth Science
Mars, Orbits & Kepler's Laws
Plot Mars night by night. Why does it loop backward, and what shape is its orbit?

Questions about this collection
Which labs are included in this AP Physics 1 collection?
The 15 distinct courses below have an explicit AP Physics 1 reference in Scivra's catalog. A course can appear in more than one section when its catalog entry lists several references.
Does this collection cover the entire curriculum or replace required laboratory work?
No. These are selected catalog alignments, not accreditation, an official curriculum audit, or complete course coverage. Virtual investigations support preparation and explanation; they do not replace required hands-on laboratory work or safety instruction.
How can I use the course guides before an investigation?
Open a course card to read its public guide, model conditions, and frequently asked questions. Use the guide to choose a variable, make a prediction, and plan a measurement. Simulation access follows the access information on that course page.
