AP Chemistry is a rigorous, college-level course that explores the fundamental concepts of chemistry, including the structure and states of matter, intermolecular forces, and chemical reactions. Students will engage in extensive hands-on laboratory investigations and apply chemical calculations to analyze data and solve complex problems. Emphasis is placed on developing strong analytical, problem-solving, and scientific reasoning skills aligned with college expectations. Students are encouraged to maintain detailed lab notebooks and reports, as colleges may require review of these materials when determining eligibility for college credit.
Students are financially responsible for AP exam fees. This course is a weighted course only if the student completes the AP exam at the end of the semester. If a student opts to not take the AP exam, the course will hold a regular GPA weight.
