Welcome to the 2019-2020 School Year! College Preparatory (CP) Chemistry is a hands-on course where students will be encouraged to build models and use evidence to support inferences in lab situations. Success in CP Chemistry is not based on rote memorization of facts but the ability to apply and use knowledge in real-world situations. In doing so, students will work collaboratively to become better scientific thinkers and active problem-solvers, skills that will prepare them for post-secondary education and future careers. CP Chemistry can be challenging, but is also very rewarding if students are engaged and actively participating in classroom discussions and laboratory experiences.
