The Chemistry AP course is designed to be equivalent to a college introductory course in chemistry. Content is divided into nine units that extend beyond topics taught in CP Chemistry or Chemistry Honors. This is a lab-intensive course with a focus on inquiry, analysis, and lab technique. Both the difficulty and volume of material covered in this course will require considerable dedication from each student. This course is designed to: 1) further his knowledge of chemistry; 2) increase his laboratory skills and 3) prepare the student for the Chemistry AP exam. An AP Chemistry student should be an independent, self-motivated learner with strong analytical reasoning ability. He must have a strong interest in chemistry and performed well in his introductory chemistry course.
