AP Chemistry

Course Overview

AP Biology students will learn to examine the atomic and molecular interactions that result in all the varied materials and changes we observe daily, as well as how to properly test and analyze errors in an experiment.

Prerequisites

Successful completion of Chemistry and Algebra II.

Expectations & Support

Students should expect a course full of critical thinking and problem solving. This involves scientific inquiry and data analysis using graphs and equations. Students will hone skills required to meet their assessments throughout the course. Support is provided in whole group instruction and activities, small group work, and individual meetings as needed. As a college level class, it is the expectation that students approach this class with maturity, hard work, and integrity. This course is equivalent to a full year (two semesters) of introductory college chemistry.

Exams & Assessment

  • Laboratory experiences
  • Progress Checks for understanding
  • Exams for each unit of instruction
  • Midterm and Final projects
  • AP Exam in May

Time Commitment

AP Chemistry may require students to complete some outside reading and work. While time spent on tasks may differ from student to student, on average a student can expect to spend about 2-3 hours outside of class per week to support their understanding of each topic.
