AP Chemistry Laboratory


In addition to passing the AP exam, colleges may require evidence of successful completion of the lab portion of AP Chemistry. Students are to document each experiment in a laboratory notebook. In lieu of transcribing each experimental procedure, students may simply reference the procedures and keep copies of same for review by college admissions officials. 
 
Pre-Labs are due BEFORE the experiment date.
Post-Labs are due the next school day AFTER completion of the experiment.
Note: Future dates are tentative and subject to change.
