AP Chem

AP Chemistry provides the fundamental concepts and principles of chemistry learned in college general chemistry courses.  It emphasizes inquiry and critical thinking skills including: problem solving, mathematical reasoning, and experimental investigations.  Laboratory work incorporates an emphasis on technology which is a crucial component of this course.  The course requires a working knowledge of chemistry, and second-year algebra.  The breadth, pace and depth of material covered exceeds the standard high school Chemistry course, as does the college-level textbook, laboratory work, and time and effort required of students.
