Prerequisite: Chemistry 

*STEM Pathway

This college-level course is designed to provide a thorough and challenging introduction to the topics of chemistry in line with the curriculum and standards established by the College Board.  Like all AP courses, it is academically challenging and work intensive, and students who enroll in this class must be prepared to complete substantial homework and to take the AP exam in May. The AP Chemistry curriculum focuses on a wide range of topics – including atomic structure, analytical and descriptive chemistry, gas laws, thermodynamics, kinetics, bonding, and equilibrium. Students will learn to express ideas with logic and clarity, to design and conduct laboratory experiments, to arrive at cogent, rational conclusions, and to manipulate equations and solve problems.
