decisions using basic Chemistry in you
life and not succumb to “fear” tactics.
This is a traditional
Science Class.
Lecture, and lab in class with

Instructor:
Mrs. Holtry
• Math: Honors Secondary Math 1

• Class time is reserved for working
problems and doing labs.
• We will also be using an interactive thumb drive.
This thumb drive’s producer followed 600 students 3 years ago that
used this thumb drive to study for the AP Chemistry exam with. All 600

with it!
• You need to know how to use a TI-83 or TI-84.
And A TI-84+silver is recommended.

• You will learn how chemistry works and
be well prepared for future college
science classes.
• There is a AP Test at the end of the year.
• Passing the AP Test will give you regular
chemistry credit at the college level (S1210
and S1220) a total of 8 credits.
• You can also receive an additional 6 credits
for lab if you petition the dean of college of
chemistry with a well done lab notebook.
Fees:
$10 Lab Fee
$90 AP Test Fee (about) - not due till March
$100
• This can get you up to 14 credit hours
