Room: 415

Prerequisite: This course is intended for students who have demonstrated a willingness to commit considerable time to studying and completing assignments outside of class, who have successfully completed a prior course in chemistry with a B or better and already passed Algebra II with a C or better during high school.

This course will develop the student's ability to incorporate mathematical skills in the solution of chemistry problems, both through the use of textbook problems and laboratory activities. Significant emphasis will be placed on developing the students ability to solve problems through dimensional analysis and estimation. Students will be required to do extensive writing, and keep a thorough and accurate ongoing laboratory notebook.

Since passing the AP exam may qualify the student to by-pass a first-year college chemistry course, AP Chemistry should not be considered "college prep." Rather, this is a college class, with college level expectations for behavior, participation and effort.
