AP Physics 1
Next Video
In physics many students discover they need to learn to understand the material rather than memorize it.  This video discusses and shows examples of the differences between the two.

Content Times:
0:15 Describing the issue
0:52 One example of Memorizing vs. Understanding
1:49 A second example of Memorizing vs. Understanding
2:29 Drawing connections between problems using components as an example
3:29 More examples of when we use components
4:06 Understand “Why” not just “How"
