Session Dates and Application Deadlines The AP Chemistry course covers selected topics typically found in a first-year college chemistry course. Topics include relationships in the periodic table, atomic theory, chemical bonding, phases of matter and solutions, types of reactions and equations, equilibirum, reaction kinetics, thermodynamics, and basics of organic chemistry. The course is lecture based and gives the student a solid understanding of the concepts included on the AP Chemistry Exam. The teacher is the guide for this course, but the student is the learner and will learn chemistry by actively engaging with the readings, videos, animations, activities, and resources in the online textbook and written materials provided. Student knowledge will be assessed by completion of weekly homework, weekly multiple choice tests, free response writing, virtual labs, online tutorials, and other activities. This course has been reviewed and approved by the College Board to use the "AP" designation. Intensive spring and summer sessions require 12-15 hours per week for 12 weeks.
Academic year session requires an average of 6-8 hours per week for 30 weeks, with breaks for holidays. See the online demo (requires Flash plugin)
