AP LABS 9 UNITS

Here you’ll find the labs that I typically use on the AP Chemistry Course. The labs are free, other than the Inquiry Labs that are subscriber only.

General instructions for writing lab reports are available, although it should be noted that I do NOT require my students to ever write lab reports.
