Chemistry AP

CHEMISTRY, ADVANCED PLACEMENT: This is an course designed to be the equivalent of the freshman general chemistry college class.  In keeping with that objective, both the course work and the laboratory work are much more independent and rigorous than in Chemistry I.  Topics include atomic theory, bonding, and an in-depth study of the states of matter, reaction types, stoichiometry, equilibrium, kinetics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry and nuclear chemistry.  The treatment of most topics is heavily mathematical to prepare students for the AP examination in May.  The time demands of this course require a consecutive two period block of time in the daily schedule.  Students will be expected to take the AP Chemistry examination in May. The curriculum is aligned with College Board guidelines.
