Preparing for the AP exam:
The goal of this course is to teach all of the major topics of chemistry, while preparing students for the AP exam. There may be several weekends and after school practice exam sessions. Students who complete the homework assignments and study for the exams will be better prepared for the AP exam.
Course Description: AP Chemistry will meet daily for between 48 and 60 minutes. We will have 25% of our instructional time devoted to working in the Lab, for some of these labs students will be expected to stay and work at lunch or after school (I will give advance notice of these dates). AP Chemistry is taught as a first year General College Chemistry Course. In May the students will take an exam to test what they have learned in the course and assess if they are eligible to receive college credit (at the discretion of the college they would be attending). This is a second year course and will be built on the knowledge the students gained in Chemistry. This class will focus on the six “Big Ideas” of chemistry: structure of matter, properties of matter, chemical reactions, rate of reactions, thermodynamics, and equilibrium.
