• Resumen

  • To support teaching and learning in the advanced placement (AP) chemistry laboratory, the College Board published a laboratory manual, AP Chemistry Guided-Inquiry Experiments: Applying the Science Practices, in 2013 as part of the redesigned course. This article provides a discussion of the rationale for the existence of the manual as well as its form, content, and pedagogical orientation; a summary of the manual�s content and structure; guidelines for how to use the manual in teaching AP chemistry; an overview of the laboratory manual development process; a review of and response to the most common criticisms directed at the manual; and finally a brief preview of future plans to enhance the manual and support its implementation. This contribution is part of a special issue on teaching introductory chemistry in the context of the advanced placement chemistry course redesign.
