AP CHEMISTRY

COURSE OVERVIEW
This course is designed to prepare the student of the AP exam. The course covers one full year of college level General Chemistry, comparable to a first year course at a college or university. The course is a rigorous math-based course, with a strong laboratory component. t is intended or students who have demonstrated a willingness to commit considerable time to studying and completing assignments outside of class, and who have successfully completed a prior course in chemistry during high school. The prere!uisites necessary to enroll in AP chemistry are a "#$ or above in %ab Chemistry or a minimum of &'$ in (onors )cience Class, and a minimum of &'$ in Algebra . STRUCTURE OF THE COURSE: AP Chemistry is built around six big ideas and seven science practices. The big ideas are* Big Idea 1: The chemical elements are fundamental building materials of matter, and all matter can be understood in terms of arrangements of atoms. These atoms retain their identity in chemical reactions. Big Idea 2: Chemical and physical properties of materials can be explained by the structure and the arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules and the forces between them. Big Idea 3: Changes in matter involve the rearrangement and+or reorgani,ation of atoms and+or the transfer of electrons. Big Idea 4: -ates of chemical reactions are determined by details of the molecular collisions. Big Idea 5: The laws of thermodynamics describe the essential role of energy and explain and predict the direction of changes in matter. Big Idea 6: Any bond or intermolecular attraction that can be formed can be bro.en. These two processes are in a dynamic competition, sensitive to initial conditions and external perturbations. The science practices for AP Chemistry are designed to get the students to thin. and act li.e scientists. The science practices are* Science Practice 1: The student can use representations and models to communicate scientific phenomena and solve scientific problems. Science Practice 2: The student can use mathematics appropriately. Science Practice 3: The student can engage in scientific !uestioning to extend thin.ing or to guide investigations within the context of the AP course. Science Practice 4: The student can plan and implement data collection strategies in relation to a particular scientific !uestion. Science Practice 5: The student can perform data analysis and evaluation of evidence. Science Practice 6: The student can wor. with scientific explanations and theories. Science Practice : The student is able to connect and relate .nowledge across various scales, concepts, and representations in and across domains.

RE%UIRE#E&TS:
)tudents are re!uired to complete summer homewor.. )tudents will answer on-line !uestions Dsee aboveE on an independent basis as the studentFs summer schedule permits. )tudents will show mastery of the content by ta.ing a comprehensive assessment during the first wee. of class. Aou are encouraged to have a scientific calculator DT -&G or T -&#E for class every day and for homewor.. There will be approximately B hrs of homewor. per wee.. There will be daily assignments. (omewor. should be .ept well organi,ed for reference. (omewor., typically, will not be collected. (omewor. is similar to sports, if you do not practice and improve your s.ills, you will not succeed. The lab program emphasi,es both !uantitative and !ualitative wor.. A minimum of 7' percent of instructional time is dedicated to the lab activities. The lab experiments will be handed out before the lab. )tudents are expected to prepare for the labs before they come into perform the experiments. A lab boo. specifically Hust for lab is needed and should be prepared with purpose, procedure, and data tables before class. Typically, pre-lab !uestions will be assigned. :re!uently, labs will be performed in pairs. (owever, all lab reports are written individually. Complete lab reports are re!uired for all experiments. The reports include purpose, procedure, e!uations, date, calculations, conclusion, error-analysis and !uestion Dif givenE. -eports will be graded on correct spelling, sentence structure, mathematics and logic in the reports. These reports and the lab boo. are important documents that should be .ept and maybe re!uested by the college when a decision is needed regarding credit and+or placement in a more advanced chemistry course. )tudents are expected to conduct laboratory wor. in accordance of all safety rules. t is expected that the standard e!uipment and be identified and used. There will also be two %ab Assessments during the year. These will count towards the midterm and final exam grades.

EV!"U!TIO&:
)tudents will ta.e the AP /xam in <ay. Therefore, the test will be comprehensive and similar in format to the actual AP Chemistry /xam. An e!uation sheet and periodic table can be used during every exam. As with the actual exam, tests will be timed D"8 min maxE. n class !ui,,es will be given wee.ly and pertain to the homewor. assignments. There will be eight unit tests covering the following topics* :undamentals, Chemical -eactions, Atomic )tructure and 1onding, <atter* )olids, li!uids and Gases, )olution Chemistry, 3inetics, /!uilibrium D3, 3a, 3b, 3spE, and Thermodynamics @ /lectrochemistry.

Final Lab Assessment* AP Chemistry ProHect and %ab 1inder Portfolio

All students will generate a lab binder portfolio, which will contain a table of contents, all typed lab handouts, and copies of all returned lab reports with dividers separating each lab. /ach lab group will perform a final research proHect. The proHect will be graded in four parts. The first three parts as shown by the rubric below. ProHect topic must be approved by the instructor

before research can begin. Class time will be for this research proHect. The fourth part of the proHect is a complete lab report. The lab report must be written following the all the above mentioned lab report criteria.

/ach designated lab group will perform a 98 minute poster board presentation on the lab research proHect of their choice. Poster boards can be the standard Poster board used at most science fair competitions. A #FxGF D#JK x G&KE board is acceptable. The boards should securely stand on a table and fold+bend into a G foot s!uared section. The Abstract needs to be placed in the top left corner. The Title, )tudentFs ;ames and AP period, )chool ;ame should be placed in the top center. All other slides can be placed in a logical manner on the board. !*)tract: )ummary and )ummation of lab Re+ie, (- "iterat.re: Provides past research reported in literature and bac.ground information. ntroduces the topic historically and scientifically.
