Course Description

Welcome to AP Chemistry, the most challenging, yet enlightening chemistry class ever. It is a very demanding course that requires dedication of both time and effort. The purpose of the Advanced Placement Chemistry course is to provide you with a college level course in chemistry and to prepare the student to seek credit and/or appropriate placement in college chemistry courses. This course will provide you with the necessary chemistry skills, both basic and advanced, to master the chemistry tasks given and solve assigned work. These skills will also prepare you for future activities associated with STEM. The course meets five times per week, 90 minutes per day over four semesters, (1 semester = 9 weeks) fall and spring.

Laboratory periods average two to three days per week. Little time is spent on lecture as students are expected to study the material given on each subject as well as read the text book. Students are assigned Internet subject areas and videos (flipping) to read/watch allowing class time for answering questions and problem solving. Students are engaged in hands-on laboratory work, integrated throughout the course that accounts for up to 30% of the class time which includes calculations, applied chemistry, and inquiry. [CR5a]

Students are encouraged to think about alternative chemical pathways and chemical applications while performing their experiments. Emphasis is placed on depth of understanding of a topic, rather than breadth of topics. Prior to the chapter or subject test, students spent time in study groups using old AP Chemistry Free Response questions/Study Guides for review.

This Chemistry course is designed to be the equivalent of the general chemistry course usually taken during the first year of college. The course is structured around the six big ideas articulated in the AP Chemistry curriculum framework provided by College Board. The 6 Big Ideas that will be covered this year:

Objectives:Students will:

1. Learn the inquiry process through numerous laboratory investigations.

2. Gain an understanding of the six big ideas as articulated in the AP Chemistry Curriculum Framework. [CR2]

Laboratory Work:

The lab experience in AP Chemistry is designed around the seven science practices constructed by College Board, in order to get the students to think and act like 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 questioning to extend thinking 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 questions.Science Practice 5: The student can perform data analysis and evaluation of evidence.Science Practice 6: The student can work with scientific explanations and theories.Science Practice 7: The student is able to connect and relate knowledge across various

scales, concepts, and representations in and across domains.

All of the laboratory experiments in this course are hands-on. These experiments will consist of guided, guided-inquiry, and complete inquiry. Students work individually or in a group of two depending upon the lab. All labs will be conducted during class time, yet students are expected to set aside 45 to 90 min. a week to commit to a lab/preparation outside of classroom time. [3a] Students will collect, process, manipulate, and graph data from both qualitative and quantitative observations. Students will analyze, summarize, predict and make conclusions with said data. Inquiry is emphasized in many of the experiments that students complete. The laboratory work requires students to design, carry out, and analyze data using guided inquiry

principles. Students are required to report the purpose, procedure, data collected, analysis of collected data, perform error analysis, make predictions, and produce conclusions in a lab report that is submitted for grading. [CR7] All laboratory experiments are intended to be completed in one period (90 minutes) except for the following guided-inquiry labs which require two days of work or two double lab periods:

1. Determination of the Formula of a Compound

2. Finding the Ratio of Moles of Reactants in a Chemical Reaction

3. Progressive Precipitation

4. Hess’s Law

5. Relationship Between the Spectrum and Absorbance of Light

6. Conductivity of Solids & Metals

7. Factors that affect reaction rates and determining reaction rates and reaction mechanisms

8. Equilibrium Position

9. Hydrolysis of Salts

10. Electrochemical Cells

Technology: Students use Texas Instruments TI-83 or TI-84 calculators in both their class work and laboratory work. Students use PASCO Sparks and probes in laboratory work to gather data. Graphs are produced using either Sparks or Microsoft Excel software.

Laboratory Notebook: A laboratory notebook is required for the course. All completed lab reports documenting all lab experiences must be included in the notebook. The notebook is checked every nine weeks with a final check at the end of the course. [CR7]

Tests: Quizzes are given on assigned flipped work performed at home. A chapter test is assigned for each chapter or unit of work. Free response questions are given for each chapter or area of study. A comprehensive, standardized semester exam is administered at the end of 1st semester and a final exam at the end of the year.

AP Exam Review: The final twenty full class days before the AP Chemistry Exam are used for exam review and practice tests using old AP Chemistry exam materials. Students work in cooperative groups to solve a packet of free response problems from previous exams. Students practice net ionic equations, thermodynamics, equilibrium, kinetics, electrochemistry, pH, buffers and are quizzed on their progress. Several practice AP Exams are administered as part of the review ten days prior to the AP Chemistry Exam.

AP Chemistry ExamThe AP Chemistry Exam is scheduled for May 2, 2016.

Lab Report Expectations:

a. Laboratory Report Expectations i. Students are required to have Pre-Lab work completed before lab begins and

at the completion of the lab students are required to evaluate. The lab report

14

required in AP will be similar to the one from AP Biology, but have more math and is more in depth than the ones completed from regular science labs. Therefore, it is very important that you do not procrastinate when doing pre and post lab work. Pre-lab assignments are due the day of lab. Post lab is due two school days after the completion of the lab. Late labs will not be accepted.

Lab Format (which is done inside the quad lab notebook):

1. PRE-LAB

2. Title -The title should be descriptive. For example, “Law of conservation of Mass Lab” is a descriptive title and “Experiment 1” is not.

3. Date(s) –This is the date(s) the student performed the lab the experiment.

4. Purpose – A purpose is a statement summarizing the “point” of the lab.

5. Hypothesis- (this is only in inquiry based labs), this is an “if- then, because statement”. For example, “If the temperature of soda is change then the height of the Mentos eruption will be lowered if the soda is cold or higher with a warmer soda, because the molecules are moving slower in cold and moving faster in higher temperature.

6. Procedure Outline – Students need to write an outline of the procedure. They should use bulleted or numbered statements (outline) or a flowchart to make it easy to read. If a student is doing a guided inquiry lab, they may be required to write a full procedure that they have developed.

7. Pre-lab Questions- Students will be given some questions to answer before the lab is done. They will need to either rewrite the question or write in complete sentences incorporating the questions in the answer.

8. Data Table- Students will need to create any data tables or charts necessary for data collections in lab. All tables, charts, and graphs should have a descriptive title and a number.

9. DURING LAB

10. Data- Students need to record all their data directly in their lab notebook. They are NOT to be recording data on their separate lab sheet. They need to label all data clearly; every table should be

15

numbered with the appropriate title. (i.e. Table 1. Observations of Various Chemical Reactions) Students should underline, use capital letters, or use any device they choose to help organize this section well. They should space things out neatly and clearly.

11. AFTER LAB

12. Calculations and Graphs- Students should show how calculations are carried out. Graphs need to be titled axes need to be labeled, and units need to be shown on the axis. To receive credit for any graphs, they must be at least ½ page in size.

13. Conclusion – students will state the findings of their results, whether the purpose was achieved, (hypothesis was state whether your hypothesis was supported, partially supported, not supported, or inconclusive and how in each case), how it was achieved. Any further investigations that may need to occur and any errors.

14. Discussion of Theory- (INQUIRY LABS ONLY) point out any unexpected findings, weaknesses in procedure, design or analysis, and how your results relate to previous work in the field as well as the content that has been presented.

15. Post Lab Error Analysis Questions – Follow the same procedure as Pre-lab Questions.

ii. Laboratory Equipment The school is equipped with a full range of glassware, instruments, and data gathering probes. Students will also have access to a computer with a full range of MS Office products on them.

2. Testsa. A chapter or unit test is assigned for each chapter or unit. The unit exams will be

comprehensive. Students will have 90 minutes to complete 35 multiple choice questions and 3 free response questions. A comprehensive, standardized semester exam is administered at the end of the first semester and a final exam at the end of the year. The semester exam (given in January) will be a full exam with 90 minutes to complete 60 multiple choice and 90 min. to complete 4 short free-response and 3 long free-response

In the AP Chemistry lab a special emphasis will be placed on the seven science practices, which capture important aspects of the work that scientists engage in, with learning objectives that combine content with inquiry and reasoning skills.
