Prerequisite Courses: Introductory Chemistry and Algebra II or equivalent

Credits: 1.25

Course Description: This one-year course is intended for college-bound students to learn and master advanced chemistry topics in order to facilitate taking college science courses. Students have the opportunity to obtain 4 college credits through the Pennsylvania Highlands Community College ACE program or through St. Francis University College in High School program. This honors-level course is organized as a continuation of the Introductory Chemistry course. Students are expected to have sound knowledge of algebra. The accompanying laboratory sessions reinforce the theories covered and emphasize the general techniques used in conducting science experiments.

Dear prospective Advanced Chemistry students,

I am glad you took up the challenge of taking Advanced Chemistry in the 2022-2023 school year and willing to work during the summer so that you are ready to roll from day 1.

Please login to FlinnPREP for AP Chemistry using the linking code that I have e-mailed to you.

Complete units 1 through 7 in the order given. You know already that chemistry concepts are built upon previously studied concepts. Each unit assessment has about 20 questions. Take the pre-test for each unit to gauge your knowledge. Based on each pre-test, use your judgment on what to review. Each unit has notes, video clips, practice questions, and quick quizzes (self-check) so you can review at your own pace. I expect you to score a minimum of 70%. All of these concepts you learned in Introductory chemistry. You may retake these unit assessments any number of times until you meet the 70% requirement.

Good luck! And looking forward to having you in my Advanced chemistry class next school year.
