AP Chemistry Summer Review

This assignment has been created to ensure that you are fully prepared for the first day of school. This review covers many of the main topics studied in your first year chemistry or Pre-AP Chemistry class. This material will be assessed within the topics studied in this course. The review allows for you to refresh your memory over the summer as well to ensure that you are ready to use these skills within the units that we will be studying. What many students find difficult about AP Chemistry is not the new content, but remembering to do all of the “little things” and utilizing your skills from Pre-AP Chem. Refer to the power points (see website or handout version or email Ms. Tirone for the powerpoints), the Zumdahl textbook (if you signed one out) or your first year chemistry class notes if you need help. Good luck and please feel free to email us with any questions you may have!

Email: Ms. Tirone- or

Mr. Demko-

We will be available in August at school for extra help- dates to be released August 1st- for updated information please sign up for Remind.com updates by texting: @apchemtiro to 81010
