Advanced Placement Program (AP)

 

 

Waverly is proud to provide students the opportunity to enroll in Advanced Placement Chemistry and Advanced Placement Computer Science Principles.
 

AP Chemistry
This is a second-year, Advanced Placement college level chemistry course.  Students need a strong math background and approval from their first year chemistry teacher.  Topics include sturcture of matter, bonding theories, states of matter, reactions, stoichiometry kinetics, thermodynamics, descriptive chemistry and a laboratory component.  The course meets nine periods per six days to allow for double lab classes.  All students are required to take the AP exam in May.

AP Computer Science Principles
This course is an introductory college-level computing course that introduces students to the breadth of the field of computer science. Students learn to design and evaluate solutions and to apply computer science to solve problems through the development of algorithms and programs. They incorporate abstraction into programs and use data to discover new knowledge. Students also explain how computing innovations and computing systems—including the internet—work, explore their potential impacts, and contribute to a computing culture that is collaborative and ethical.
