This episode outlines the requirements for the College Board's AP Chemistry course, which is designed to provide students with a robust understanding of chemical principles at various levels: macroscopic, microscopic, sub-microscopic, and symbolic.
It details the course's two essential components: Science Practices and Course Content. The science practices are a set of skills students must develop and apply throughout the course, such as analyzing models and representations, designing experiments, and interpreting data. The course content is organized into units of study that cover specific chemical concepts and topics. The document provides a detailed breakdown of each science practice, including specific skills that students must be able to demonstrate, and emphasizes the importance of these skills in preparing students for the AP Chemistry exam and college-level coursework.
