Welcome to Chemistry!

 Chemistry deals with the composition, structure and properties of matter, the changes matter undergoes and the energy associated with those changes. This class encourages the development of higher-level thinking and problem-solving skills via self-directed activities and assignments.  Chemistry is a laboratory course in which students are required to question, observe, collect data, experiment and analyze results. A broad range of topics are presented, enabling students to gain a strong knowledge of course concepts and prepare for further challenges.

AP Chemistry deals with the composition, structure and properties of matter, the changes matter undergoes and the energy associated with those changes.  The primary goals of the course are to allow each student to establish a foundation of fundamental chemistry knowledge, along with building and refining their analytical and problem solving skills, so that they may continue to excel at a high level in a first year college chemistry course. 

I am excited to explore these topics with all of you!  It's going to be a great year!
