Course description

AP Chemistry is a year-long seminar-style course that teaches students the fundamental ideas and tools of modern chemistry and covers college-level introductory chemistry topics. Students become fluent in the language; symbols; laboratory skills; and concepts of chemistry. They learn to describe chemical names; the periodic table; types of reactions; chemical reactivity; structure; bonding; thermodynamics; kinetics; electrochemistry and nuclear chemistry. Throughout the course they are exposed to applications of chemistry in inorganic and organic chemistry; materials science; environmental chemistry and biochemistry. This course stresses problem solving in chemistry using verbal descriptions and mathematical relationships to describe chemical ideas and processes. AP Chemistry gives students hands-on laboratory experience by requiring students to perform experiments at home using lab equipment and reagents purchased from a chemical supplier or household chemicals. This course prepares students for the AP Chemistry exam
