Advanced Placement^® Chemistry is equivalent to a full-year introductory college course in general
Chemistry. Students will learn fundamental analytical skills to logically assess chemical problems proficiently. Through
fascinating and elaborative lessons, students will develop the skills necessary to arrive at conclusions based on informed
judgment and present evidence in clear and persuasive
essays.
