Entrance into the AP Chemistry course requires curricular team leader approval. Open to juniors and seniors, and, with curricular team leader approval, sophomores. This laboratory-based course is a study of matter and the changes it undergoes. Continuation of topics in chemistry to include acid-base chemistry, equilibrium, redox, electrochemistry, nuclear chemistry, and advanced laboratory techniques. This basic introduction to organic chemistry begins with the study of bonding and geometry in the alkanes and other basic functional groups, their physical properties and nomenclature, and the reactions they undergo.
Students spend some time in the lab during each class.
This is a comprehensive introductory-level science course that will prepare students for the SAT II examination in chemistry. Candidates for Honors Chemistry should be accomplished math and science students who are prepared for a fast-paced, intense science course. Mount Hermon campus only. Students enrolled in this class have an extended lab session twice a week during the term the class is scheduled. This college-level course is intended for science and engineering majors.
