Advanced MicroChem Kit

The Advanced MicroChem (advanced placement level chemistry) Kit

A collaborative effort of five experienced educators with well over 130 years combined teaching experience, this kit and included manual covers all the new 2013 requirements from the College Board®. The manual will lead your students through 16 advanced placement level labs, 11 of which are guided inquiry labs, (six of the guided inquiry labs can optionally be structured inquiry). All the required learning objectives and science practices are addressed. An optional Advanced MicroChem Teachers Handbook is available which can help in submitting your school's audit review to the College Board®.  Call us at 866-700-1884 for more information.
