Grade Level Credit AP Chemistry 11-12 1 Prerequisite: Successful completion of PS/Chemistry and Algebra II 4 College Credits Teacher recommendation
AP application process
AP Chemistry is a challenging course for students with a strong interest in chemistry. The class will meet daily for two periods with a strong focus on acquiring the
laboratory experiences necessary for understanding the basic content as well as the underlying and broader principles of scientific inquiry in chemistry. Pace of the
course will be rapid and students should expect to spend a substantial amount of time outside of class on assignments, lab reports, and general preparation. All required material will be covered before the AP exam in early May.
The course is organized around a set of topics referred to as “Big Ideas” which have been established by the College Board. While these will look familiar to Regents chemistry students, they will be covered in much more depth and detail in AP Chemistry.
The Big Ideas are: -The chemical elements are the building blocks of matter, which can be understood in terms of the arrangements of atoms.
-Chemical and physical properties of materials can be explained by the structure and the arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules and the forces between them.
-Changes in matter involve the rearrangement and/or reorganization of atoms and/or the transfer of electrons. -Rates of chemical reactions are determined by details of the molecular collisions.
-The laws of thermodynamics describe the essential role of energy and explain and predict the direction of changes in matter.
-Bonds or attractions that can be formed can be broken. These two processes are in constant competition, sensitive to initial conditions and external forces or changes.
