Pre-AP Chemistry - Century High School

Pre-AP Chemistry is a foundational, inquiry-based course that helps students understand how matter and energy behave at the atomic level while building strong scientific thinking skills. Through hands-on labs, data analysis, modeling, and problem-solving, students learn key chemistry concepts such as atomic structure, bonding, chemical reactions, and energy changes. The course emphasizes clear scientific reading and writing, using math to explain real-world phenomena, and constructing evidence-based arguments, skills that prepare students for AP-level coursework, high school science pathways, and future college and career opportunities in health science, engineering, and other STEM fields.
