Our AP® Chemistry course is designed to ignite your curiosity and deepen your understanding of the nature and reactivity of matter. Starting with chemical reactions and electrochemistry, you'll explore how the structure and arrangement of molecules explain the chemical and physical properties of materials. You'll delve into the laws of thermodynamics, molecular collisions, and the reorganization of matter to understand how changes in matter occur. Finally, you'll tackle chemical equilibria, including acid-base equilibria, preparing you for the AP exam and further studies in science, health sciences, or engineering.

This course offers a dynamic learning experience that focuses on developing your critical thinking skills and cognitive strategies. With frequent assessments, you'll be able to measure your comprehension and improve your performance as you progress. You'll engage with primary source materials, honing the critical reading and analysis skills needed to excel in college chemistry. Hands-on labs will give you insight into the nature of science and help you understand chemical concepts, while virtual lab studies will allow you to form hypotheses, collect and analyze data, and report your findings.

Throughout lab investigations, you'll summarize your findings and analyze others' results, using statistical and mathematical calculations when appropriate. Summative tests at the end of each unit and semester will help you gauge your mastery of the material. With robust scaffolding, rigorous instruction, relevant material, and regular active learning opportunities, you'll be well-equipped to excel on the AP exam.

Course Eligibility Recommendation: Students can take AP courses in 10th, 11th or 12th grade provided they have a GPA of 3.0 or higher.

Students must register for the AP Exam through the College Board, following their instructions for homeschooled, independent study, and virtual school students.
