AP Chemistry
 
(2 cr., 2 semesters) Co-requisite: Algebra 2 Minimum grade of "A" recommended and General Physics minimum grade "A" recommended weighted grade. This course is designed to be the equivalent of the General Chemistry course usually taken during the first year of college. It differs qualitatively from the General Chemistry course with respect to the topics covered, the emphasis on chemical equations, the mathematical formulation of principals, and the type of laboratory work done by the students. Qualitative differences appear in the number of topics treated, the time spent on the course by students, and the nature and the variety of experiments done in laboratory. This class will meet for one block every day. An above-average score on the AP Chemistry exam in the spring will result in college credit at most colleges, and universities. Students are not allowed to make a level change to General Chemistry after the first nine weeks of AP Chemistry.
