AP Chemistry Wiki at Hathaway Brown School
 * //This wiki is series of links that act as a study guide for AP chemistry. It is intended to be a supplement and companion to the class, not a replacement for the hard work and effort required to do well. Use these links, videos, and online lectures to your advantage, but keep in mind the HB Honor Code. I hope that this wiki will help you gain a better understanding of chemistry concepts!//**

http://apchemistrynmsi.wikispaces.com/AP+Chemistry+Class+Lecture+Notes+AND+instructional+videos This is a link to the "Student Lecture Notes page for The National Math and Science Initiative (NMSI)" wiki. It is rather helpful because it has everything from in-depth notes to videos to worksheets. It is also very well organized and helpful! Take advantage of the resources it has to offer. Also, if you click to the section on the side, there are additional links that can help with lab procedures.
