I am really enjoying the AP Physics 1 course. My students seem to be responding very well to the conceptual approach. Many have been asking for AP Physics 2 next year so I guess that is a good thing.
Does anyone have any good resources to use for rotational motion? I also teach the AP Physics C and have plenty for that course, but I am looking for questions specific to the AP 1 curriculum.

AP Institute / New Course / Textbook
Just finished the AP Institute at Mahopac, NY. Good stuff! AP Physics 1 is a completely different class than the honors course I was teaching. This new course will be much more accessible for students with lesser math skills. My school agreed with me and dropped the Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry co-requisite and we are now moving some underclassmen from Academic Physics.
Which textbook do some of you plan to use this fall? I realize the textbook plays lesser role in this course, but I would like to have a resource available. We have used Giancoli for the last 8 or 9 years for the Honors Physics.
