Advanced Placement Chemistry 

 

1 credit year, Grades 11-12

 

What is the role of chemistry as we investigate relevant issues in our local, national and global communities?

 

 

Advanced Placement Chemistry is designed to prepare the student for the AP Chemistry exam. This rigorous math-based course, with a strong laboratory component, covers the equivalent of a college level General Chemistry. This course will develop the student’s ability to incorporate mathematical skills in the solution of chemistry problems, both using textbook problems and laboratory activities. This is a college level class, with college level expectations for behavior, participation, and effort. Students will need to work outside of class and complete readings independently in order to learn and understand all of the material. Students must have successfully completed Chemistry and Core Math 3 to enroll in this course. Students will be expected to successfully complete summer reading assignments.
