Description: The AP chemistry course curriculum implemented starting in the 2013-2014 academic year structured around six big ideas and the seven scientific practices as defined by the AP College Board curriculum committee. The course requires students to conceptually and quantitatively analyze chemistry problems within a specific content and between content concepts. It is intended to meet the expectations of a first year general chemistry sequence with a required laboratory.

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 mater involved the rearrangement and/or reorganization of atoms and/or the transfer of electrons.

Big Idea 4: Rates 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 broken. These two processes are in a dynamic competition, sensitive to initial conditions and external perturbations.

Scientific Practice 1: The student can use representations and models to communicate scientific phenomena and solve scientific problems.

Scientific Practice 2: The student can use mathematics appropriately.

Scientific Practice 3: The student can engage in scientific questioning to extend thinking or to guide investigations within the context of the AP course.

Scientific Practice 4: The student can plan and implement data collection strategies in relation to a particular scientific question. [Note: Data can be collected from many different sources, e.g., investigations, scientific observations, the findings of others, historic reconstruction, and/or archived data.]

Scientific Practice 5: The student can perform data analysis and evaluation of evidence.

Scientific Practice 6: The student can work with scientific explanations and theories.

Scientific Practice 7: The student is able to connect and relate knowledge across various scales, concepts, and representations in and across domains.

Date of the AP Chemistry Test: May 6, 2013 @8am

Calculator: It is recommended that students obtain a graphing calculator. A TI-83 plus is the calculator I recommend. It may be used on the AP test. Any scientific calculator will work, and one that shows the student what they have already entered is advantageous for finding data entry errors.

Labs: Laboratory work is required in this course. Students are expected to abide by all laboratory safety rules and know that they will be dismissed from lab when in violation. These rules are for the protection of the student and teacher. Laboratory notebooks will be kept by students. These may be reviewed by certain colleges to ascertain if the student has adequate skills and experience working with chemicals. Laboratory notebooks must be written in pen. Pencil is not acceptable in a professional or collegiate chemistry notebook. 25% of the time will be spent in laboratory investigations of which students must develop laboratory procedures.

Materials:

Composition notebook – for lab

Scientific calculator (I recommend but do not require, a TI-83 plus)

3 ring binder (two 1” or one 1½”)

Pens (blue or black ink)

Pencils

Loose leaf paper

2 packages of 100, 3” *5” index cards, with your name on it.

Grading Scale:

90-100 A, 80-89.49 B, 70-79.49 C, 60- 60.49 D, 59.49 and below F

Tests: 40%

Labs: 25%

Quizzes: 20%

Homework: 10%

Projects/In Class: 5%

The percentage of your grade for lab reflects the amount of time spent in hand-on laboratory experiments.

Grading Procedures:No late work will be accepted after assignments have been returned without written permission or at the instructor’s discretion. For credit on problems, your work must be shown. You will not receive credit on the AP test for a correct number, but for the thought process (hence work shown) which led you to the correct answer.

Extra Sessions:Extra sessions for AP will be offered this maybe on Saturdays or evenings. Times and locations will be announced.

Class Rules:

Unless permission is granted, no student should be in the laboratory section of the room.
Be prepared for class.
Be respectful of all members of the class and visitors.
Be academically honest.
We all have our own space, respect it.

Lab Rules:

Must be properly attired to participate in lab.
Must have a signed safety contract by yourself and parent/guardian on file.
Must pass a safety prior to participation in the lab.
Not following any safety rules may lead to dismissal from lab and a zero for that laboratory experience.
Lab is not a right, it is a privilege.
Be prepared for lab having read the instructions and/or have laboratory procedure approved by the teacher.

Lab Reports: All laboratory data must be recorded in composition notebooks. Use ink only. Some formal laboratory report will be turned in typed. After grading, they will be added to your composition notebook. Inquiry procedures will be clearly written in your laboratory notebook; any adjustments to procedures must be noted as well as approved by the teacher. Major laboratory report sections include: title, purpose/objective (or hypothesis/question), materials, procedure (in detail if designed by you with notations of changes during implementation), data tables, data analysis (include sample calculations for all parts), conclusion with error analysis/extension to application.

Absences:Not all labs may be made up because not all solutions may be sorted for long periods of time or at all. Labs for make-up will occur after school and must be arranged in advance with the teacher. You must bring another student from class (AP sections) so as not to work alone (teacher will be present to monitor for safety). This policy mirrors most chemistry laboratories which require at least two working in a lab. Missed tests must be made-up within two weeks of absence. Make-up tests may be completely different from in class tests. Late homework will not be accepted after it is returned to class.

Food and Drinks:No food or drinks are permitted in the laboratory portion of the room. Students in the lecture portion of the room may have covered drinks, but not food. This is a working laboratory and food is not permitted. Any food in the room is considered contaminated and will be labeled “unfit for human consumption.”

Tips:

Discover how you learn best
Review your notes daily, ask questions about your notes, do not cram (it really does not work)
Make sure you have adequate sleep (sleeping helps your retain what you have studied)
Ask questions of yourself, and Look for answers yourself (and with a little help)
Do not trust googled answers (always verify from a reliable source)
Read your text as a consumer not as a window shopper
Do not be afraid to be wrong, everyone is wrong sometimes
