(UC/CSU "D" Requirement)
11th - 12th Grades
Prerequisite: Successful completion of Chemistry.
AP Chemistry is a course that is equivalent to an introductory College level general Chemistry class. It is intended to prepare students who are interested in STEM-related careers. This course is centered around six Big Ideas – Structure of Matter, Bonding and Intermolecular Forces, Chemical Reactions, Kinetics, Thermodynamics, and Chemical Equilibrium. Students will perform laboratory activities that will expose them to modern laboratory techniques, experimental design, and data analysis – as they relate to solving real-life problems.
Note: Students are encouraged, but not required to take the AP Chemistry exam in May.
