Course Description
AP Chemistry - Grade 12
Textbook: Brown, LeMay, and Bursten, Chemistry - The Central Science, Prentice Hall 2000
This course is designed to prepare the student for the AP Chemistry
exam. The course covers the equivalent of one full year of college
level General Chemistry, comparable to a first year course at a college
or university. The course is a rigorous math-based course, with a
strong laboratory component. It is intended for students who have
demonstrated a willingness to commit considerable time to studying and
completing assignments outside of class, and who have successfully
completed a prior course in chemistry during high school. The course
will develop the student's ability to incorporate mathematical skills
in the solution of chemistry problems, both through the use of textbook
problems and laboratory activities. Since the AP exam no longer allows
the use of calculators, significant emphasis will be placed on
developing the student's ability to solve problems through dimensional
analysis and estimation. Students will be required to do extensive
writing, and to keep a thorough and accurate ongoing laboratory
notebook.
Welcome to Ms. Lay's AP Chemistry!
Intended Use
I will make regular updates to include the most recent information
related to class. At times you can access information before it is
delivered in class, other times this site will be used as a way for you
to catch up when you are absent or if you loose a handout. I will post
lab data when relevant. I will post news, updates, or class
announcements. It is a space for us to learn more about AP Chemistry and to help students pursue a solid chemistry education (and more!)
In short, you should make this a regular part of the world wide web you check out!
