Credit               1 unit

Prerequisite       Honors Chemistry II (AP Chemistry Prep)

Advanced placement chemistry is designed to be equivalent to an introductory college-level chemistry course that has a strong emphasis on laboratory work.  It follows the same format as honors chemistry II and covers kinetics, equilibrium and its applications, acid-base theory, reaction spontaneity, and electrochemistry. In May, students may opt to take an AP examination to validate their academic experience and to receive college credit as determined by individual institutions of higher education.  The AP chemistry examination is designed, administered, and graded by the College Board.
