AP Bonus 2019. Ignore usual outline below. Instead this year the bonus will be based on Circular motion and proportions Test (approx 60% of the bonus and the May 22 OAPT Physics competition max approx 40% of the bonus) AP Bonus test will be held on June 4,5 or 6.
Circular Motion is not in the textbook. I plan to take 2 days to cover the circular motion material but you can also use these links and try the MP assignment in advance

AP Material most years ; Simple Harmonic motion; springs and pendulums. Bodies in Equilibrium; Moment and Torque. Circular Motion Using Proportions to solve Problems.
AP Bonus.
based on AP test + Physics contest results+Mp Assignments see below
MP assignments, Torque and Simple Harmonic Motion -10%
40 mark test, mostly AP with at least 50% of material on AP material.+ proportion (see above) Many questions will taken or adapted from old AP exams.-80%
Maximum 5%. Most students will earn 1-3% bonus
Maximum mark in course 99%
