Hoover City Schools Secondary Curriculum
Science, 2009-10
Course Information:
Course Title: Chemistry, Pre-AP
Grade Level: 10 – 12
Course Description: The Pre-AP Chemistry course is designed to prepare students for success in Advanced Placement science courses. In preparation for these courses, the Pre-AP Chemistry students will be required to complete formal lab reports and analyze specific data throughout the course. The course requires a more in depth study of chemical concepts. Students who take this course need to be independent learners, readers with very high ability to comprehend difficult concepts and scholars who wish to take at least two AP science courses during the rest of their high school career.
