Q1 Chemistry Schedule AP Chem Nov/Dec

AP Chemistry is designed to be the equivalent of a first year college general chemistry course and follows the College Board’s AP Chemistry course requirements. As such, the course is suitable only for secondary students who exhibit high levels of commitment, motivation and academic maturity. This is a course and test designed to follow a full initial year of Chemistry. As we do not have that luxury, we will be following a very quick pace in the class and you will find yourself very quickly behind if you do not complete the assignments in the times allowed. Please make sure to keep at the pace given and inform me if at any time you are finding that you are unable to finish work or are not understanding the material so we can find additional time or practice work to help you keep up.

This course presents a rigorous treatment of the following concepts: the nature of matter, stoichiometry, gas laws, thermodynamics, chemical bonding and structure, chemical reactions and kinetics, and chemical equilibria. Students are expected to be motivated and spend extra time studying outside of class. Problem-solving strategies obtained during this course will prepare you for careers in the sciences, medicine, engineering, and other technical areas. This course is divided into 14 outcomes comprised of 10 Essential Units and four teacher-directed Selective Units. To receive full credit for the course, ten units must be mastered. We will meet 5 periods per week for a minimum of 45 minute periods for in class work and will need to have at least 2 additional two hour laboratory periods scheduled each week. Please look at your schedule and determine a couple of days during 8th period that you will be able to accomplish the labs. There will be lab partner groups of two so whomever you partner with must be available at the same time that you are.

As we are preparing for the AP Chemistry exam in May, there is not really any room for retesting so you must be prepared for each and every exam.

Laboratory activities are an essential part of each outcome, both as demonstration and participation exercises. The laboratory activities listed are the ones recommended by the AP College Board. A minimum of 20 of these will be performed during the year.
