AP Chemistry isn’t just another high school science class. It's fast-paced, math-heavy, and expects students to jump in ready to apply concepts from day one. If your teen isn’t feeling confident or it's been a while since their last chemistry class, summer prep can make all the difference.

In this episode of Teaching High School Science, I’m sharing the exact topics your teen should review this summer to walk into AP Chem with confidence and clarity. From dimensional analysis and algebra skills to electron configurations and stoichiometry, we’re covering the must-know foundations that will help your teen keep up (and stay ahead) in this challenging course.

You'll learn:

• Which key chemistry concepts are essential for Units 1 & 2
  
  
• What math skills students must be comfortable with before the fall
  
  
• Why practice—not just notes or videos—is the secret to solid prep
  
  
• How to get the most out of school-issued summer packets
  
  

Plus, I share how my 1:1 AP Chemistry Summer Prep Tutoring on OutSchool provides a personalized, structured plan to fill in gaps and build confidence before class even begins.

If AP Chem is on your teen’s schedule this fall, this episode is your summer prep roadmap.

Thanks for tuning in!
