Course Description For AP Chemistry

AP Chemistry is a college-level Advanced Placement course that explores matter, chemical reactions, and the interactions between atoms and molecules. First, students study atomic structure, molecular interactions, chemical reactions, energy, equilibrium, acids and bases, and electrochemistry. In addition, they complete lab activities and analyze data. Students also use math and scientific evidence to solve chemistry problems. Moreover, they connect chemistry concepts to real-world situations. As a result, students prepare for the AP Chemistry Exam and build a strong foundation for future studies in science, engineering, and health-related fields.

Skills You'll Learn

✓ Planning experiments and analyzing results
✓ Using graphs, diagrams, and models to explain chemistry
✓ Writing chemical equations and calculating reaction quantities
✓ Using scientific evidence to explain and support conclusions
