As a part of the AP Chemistry Curriculum, you are required to complete this summer assignment. This assignment is to ensure that you will be prepared for the class in the fall, which will be rigorous, but fun and lots of hands-on experiments. Your assignment is to complete the online assignment through WebAssign by Sunday, August 28th and to complete the practice problems (which due on the first day of class) from your textbook (which you should have picked up the last week of school). See below for details on your summer assignment.
