There is more information at the teacher's course Website: Chemistry - Advanced Option
Students must be already enrolled in the regular Chemistry course to attend this small-enrollment chat session where we will review chemistry lab techniques and safety, discuss laboratory work required for the course and AP credit, and cover key topics greater depth. Students may take diagnostic exams and complete extra essay work preparation for the May AP Chemistry Examination. The syllabus for this course is being submitting for formal AP designation by the College Board, but has not yet been approved. Whether or not the College Board formally recognizes the course, we believe that it will adequately prepare students for the AP Chemistry exam.
This course is taught using the Scholars Online Chat software, which allows the teacher to embed graphics, mathematical equations, and movies in the chat session, with complete logging available for the entire year. Audio software is not used to allow students with limited internet access to participate fully, and to encourage precise thinking and writing skills.
Prerequisites
Concurrent enrollment in the regular Chemistry course. Previous physical science at the junior high level covering basic concepts on nature of matter (atomic theory, chemical reactions). Natural Science II very helpful.
Recommended background
Students should have some prior background in life science and be able to work independently.
Teacher's notes:
Class meetings will be arranged to fit into students' schedules. Please read through my SAT and AP Examination overview before deciding to take this option. Also consult the College Board AP Site to learn more about expectations for the examination.
