Course Description & Calendar
This is an accelerated crash course for the College Board AP Chemistry Cuirriculum and Exam. In four weeks we will be covering all nine units of the AP Chemistry Course. Chemistry is the study of matter, and with that hefty title we’ll recognize that is is an incredibly diverse and expansive field with implications in many other subjects.

Course & Material Requirements
There are no prerequisites for this course or any additional materials beyond access to this LMS; however, you may find it useful to have a 4-function, scientific, or graphing calculator (Free Response). Additionally, please download the official 1) Periodic Table and 2) AP Chem Formula Sheet; you will have access to both resources on the AP exam.

[08/10] Week 2: Units 3 & 4
We are entering Week 2 of Jumpstart AP Chemistry! This week we will be covering Units 3 and 4 of the AP Chemistry Curriculum. Thomas and I have redesigned the course and moving forward content will be presented primarily through in-text lessons while examples and short reviews will be done through video. Online practice sets will still be available, but due to technical issues with the quizzes in Unit 1, we are no longer using the LMS's quiz function. If you're experiencing any formatting issues with in-text lessons, please download the .PDF attached to each in-text lesson. The three videos I had been trying to upload ( "3.1", "4.1-4.2 & 4.5", and "4.9") are delayed due to technical issues, but should be available later today; I've fully updated the in-text lessons and online practice sets and Thomas has uploaded his videos though. Apologies for any inconvenience! Units 5 and 6 will begin next week. Good luck and try to have some fun :D
[08/06] Regarding Quizzes
Hi all! Hope you and yours are well. We have received a few reports that quizzes in Unit 1 mark incorrect answers, report false scores, etc. These technical issues arise from the LMS and are still being resolved. If you would like to confirm anything about the quiz questions (that the "wonky" grading may have made unclear), feel free to reach out to either instructor. For Unit 2, we have eliminated the use of quizzes.
[08/03] Welcome to Week 1 of Helyx Florida's AP Chemistry Jumpstart Program!
Taught by peers and led by peers! As of 8:00AM EST, Units 1 and 2 have been updated with all the most recent course curricula. In this first week, we will be covering the foundations of AP Chemistry, but remember, this should NOT be your exclusive source of information; this is an accelerated zero-academic-credit 4-week course. If you have an questions or concerns any time during the program, feel free to contact myself (Julianna) or Thomas (Discord, office hours, or email information on the course syllabus); we will respond within 48 hours of your inquiry. Good luck! (P.S. during the week, you may see updates in the Unit 3 and Unit 4 sections. These units will not be fully updated until 8:00AM EST August 10, 2020)
