AP Chemistry 12

In addition to the units covered in Chemistry 12, the AP course adds Thermodynamics and Applications of Thermodynamics. AP is faster-paced than regular Chemistry 12 and adds complexity in some units. Students will engage in problem-solving for open-ended theory, multiple-choice calculations, and guided inquiry investigations.

Solid algebra skills are essential: formulae, rearrangement of formulae, substitution of variables, and calculation with proper presentation skills on paper are employed regularly. Students will write the AP Chemistry exam in May.

Course Prerequisite: AP Chemistry 11. Proficient in that course is highly recommended.
