AP CONCEPT CHALLENGES
Ten reasoning questions for every AP Physics 1 unit. Most need little or no calculation. Instead, you rank, compare, predict, find mistakes and explain your thinking. Answer keys are locked for teacher use.
Question types you'll see
- Ranking: order situations by a quantity (ties allowed)
- Conflicting Contentions: decide which student is right
- What, If Anything, Is Wrong?: check a diagram or statement
- Linked Multiple Choice: one answer bank, many situations
- Comparison: greater, less or the same?
- Predict & Explain: commit to a prediction first
- Working Backwards: write a situation for an equation
- Changing Representations: graphs, diagrams, bar charts
- Troubleshooting: find the error in a solution
- Meaningful Calculation?: does this number mean anything?
