AP Chemistry
Course Description
AP CHEMISTRY: One year course; Open to grades 10-12. Prerequisite: Completion of Honors Chemistry (or Chemistry) with a grade of B or higher. (Students should have also completed Math II with a B or higher);
This is a second year course designed to be the equivalent of a college-level general chemistry course with an end of course exam managed by the AP College Board. Course content focuses on all aspects of matter and its interaction in our world - organization, interaction, structure, rearrangement during chemical reactions, the mechanics behind reaction rates, and thermodynamics. Throughout the year students will focus on strengthening their scientific practices - modeling, mathematical application, data analysis and written communication of findings. Students should expect to spend significant amounts of time outside of class, especially in the areas of exploring, problem solving, and preparation of lab reports and a summer assignment. More information can be found on this AP College Board link. This course fulfills UC/CSU “d” lab science requirement. Meets NCAA requirements.
