Mr. Lund (bless his noble soul) has been quoted:

"Advanced Placement Physics is a fast paced, broad based class similar to first year college physics. This class is intended for highly motivated students who enjoy challenging concepts  and problems. AP Physics covers ideas from Aristotle to Einstein (Bless their souls), and beyond."

Look closely in the glass.... glycerin is making a little measuring glass basically transparent except for the white lettering on the glass. A group of studious students building a Series circuit with a 3v power source.....................................................         The classic physics clutter that accompanies any good physics room. The circular object      on the right is called a Vectron and 3 rotating  propellers create enough lift to fly it.

      This is a bullet flying through an apple... A pretty accurate representation considering it's a painting made before cameras.

See if you can figure it out.
