Advanced Placement Chemistry

This course meets every day for 1 semester and every other day the other semester.

AP Chemistry is a rigorous laboratory science course intended for students with a high level of interest in science. This college-level course is the equivalent of two semesters of General Chemistry, including labs. The course provides students with a fundamental understanding of matter and change, scientific measurements, atomic and molecular properties, molecular geometry and bonding, solution chemistry, properties of solutions, gas laws, acids and bases, chemical equilibrium, thermochemistry, electrochemistry, and chemical kinetics. Laboratory experiments are conducted in connection with most topics. A scientific calculator is required. This course prepares students for the Advanced Placement Chemistry Examination. Students may choose to participate in the CU Succeed Gold Program and earn up to 9 college semester credits for Chemistry Lectures and Labs.
