AP Physics C is a year-long class preparing for both Physics C exams. See collegeboard.com for more details on the content in AP Physics C.

Cryptography has always been a constant war between those with secrets and those who want to expose secrets. It is the study of code making and code breaking. The strength of a cipher and the skill of the cryptanalyst have changed the outcome of many historic events. In this course, we will learn how different ciphers work and the methods used to crack them. We will travel through the history of cryptography from Caesar through WWI and WWII to the modern age. As we study each cipher we will learn how codes have impacted events such as the execution of Mary Queen of Scots and the entrance of the United States into World War I. Each week we will learn how a new cipher works and sometimes even learn how to crack it ourselves. Topics include frequency analysis, the Caesar cipher, the monoalphabetic substitution cipher, the Vigenere cipher, the Enigma, and public key cryptography.

Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon, the backbone of all life on Earth. This course will provide an introduction to organic chemistry, reactions, and mechanisms. We will learn basic synthesis processes and the way mechanisms demonstrate how a reaction proceeds. Along the way, we will see the biological and practical applications of these reactions such as understanding how DNA replication errors, medicine, and synthetic materials work. Topics will include nomenclature, nucleophilic substitution reactions, elimination reactions, alkene chemistry, and benzene chemistry.

We will learn basic synthesis processes and the way mechanisms demonstrate how a reaction proceeds. At the end, we will be able to understand the steps in the creation of some simple medicines, biological molecules, or hormones. Topics will include nomenclature, nucleophilic substitution reactions, elimination reactions, alkene chemistry, and benzene chemistry.
