STRUCTURE OF THE COURSE:AP Chemistry is built around six big ideas and seven science practices. The science practices for AP Chemistry are designed to get the students to think and act like scientists.

The Big Ideas

Big Idea 1: Structure of Matter 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: Properties of matter-characteristics, states, and forces of attractionChemical 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: Chemical reactionsChanges in matter involve the rearrangement and/or reorganization of atoms and/or the transfer of electrons.

Big Idea 4: Rates of chemical reactionsRates of chemical reactions are determined by details of the molecular collisions.

Big Idea 5: ThermodynamicsThe laws of thermodynamics describe the essential role of energy and explain and predict the direction of

changes in matter.

Big Idea 6: EquilibriumAny 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.

The Science Practices

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 students can plan and implement data collection strategies in relation to a

particular scientific question.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.

MATERIALS:2”-3” BinderDividers (at least 20)Loose-leaf PaperComposition/Spiral Notebook (Video Log)Dry Erase MarkersLarge Index Cards (5” x 8”)Scientific calculatorsPencil Sharpener Writing utensils (pens, pencils, and highlighters are strongly encouraged for note-taking) *If financial assistance is needed for course materials please speak to the instructor privately for the proper accommodations. Otherwise materials are expected to be in class every day.

COURSE NOTEBOOK:Students will be required to outline/summarize (handwritten) each chapter before it is discussed in class. Key vocabulary words MUST be highlighted throughout the notes. Chapter outline notes will be due on the 1st day of lecture for that chapter. Chapter notes will be graded as homework. A 2”-3” 3-ring binder will also be required. All course materials, including notes, homework, practice problems; etc will be kept in this binder. All material is to be sorted by topic using dividers in the binder. The course notebook will be checked as a 50-point homework grade at least once per semester (or more frequently at the instructor’s discretion).

CONCEPT QUIZZES:Every week (the last class day of that week) students will be given a quiz on critical concepts and vocabulary. The quizzes will assess 4 vocabulary words/concepts (5 points each). One of the questions may be on mental math/number sense instead of a vocabulary concept. There will be an emphasis on definition and understanding of the concept. Vocabulary words and concepts assessed will be cumulative throughout the year. They may be multiple choice or completion. No quiz will be given during a test week.

CHEM CARDS:During a chapter lecture, students will be encouraged to write down important AP concepts on a large size index card. Students may use front and back. Chem cards will be collected for all chapters covered during a unit on the day of the unit test. Chem cards should place an emphasis on active listening and participation during lecture. Chem cards will count as 5 points extra credit on a unit test (post curve if applicable).

of 15

FRQ GROUPS:At the start of the each quarter students will be assigned into groups of 4 by the instructor. In groups, students will complete AP free response questions (FRQ) or complete and instructional activity assigned by the instructor. This will be a classwork grade and will be based on participation of all group members and accuracy to answers of the question.

HOMEWORK:Homework will be due the class after it is assigned. Homework will be assigned as practice for the quizzes and tests. Late homework will not be accepted under any circumstances. Homework is to be completed on loose-leaf paper (unless otherwise instructed by the instructor) in your course notebook.

KHAN ACADEMY VIDOE LOG:Khan Academy will offer a resource for supplemental videos and practice problems to deepen understanding of what you have learned. All videos and practice will be assigned on Khan Academy. There is a weekly completion homework grade for completing the Khan Academy assignments AND another for the video log (to be turned in quarterly). A composition/spiral book will be used to take notes on the videos assigned. The video log will be a 20% of the notebook grade checked at the end of the quarter. HOWEVER, it may also be collected for a separate homework grade at any time by the instructor.

Heading for each Video Entry: (This should be in the top right hand corner of the page for every new video)

Name of Video Date Watched Name of Narrator Video time length

Entry Content: Entry should be logged while watching video List all critical vocabulary with definitions Include any examples worked out in video Include any pictures when diagrams or visuals are given Write any questions you have about content at the end of the video

TESTS/QUIZZES:Tests will be prepared using multiple AP Chemistry resources. Most tests will be prepared using a format similar to that of the AP Chemistry Exam (part multiple choice and part free response). Tests given will be unit tests that will cover more than one chapter. The unit tests will be cumulative throughout the year.*If a student is absent on the day of a test, it MUST be made up in class on the day they return to class.

COURSE GRADE DISTRIBUTION:Tests 55%Labs 20%Vocab Quizzes 15%

Homework/Classwork 10%

AP CHEMISTRY LAB LIST:

The following labs will be completed during the school year. Labs will comprise at least 25% of instructional time. Guided Inquiry Labs are bolded and indicated with an asterisk (*)

*1. Solution Mystery – students will identify 7 unknown solutions using principles of solubility and chemical reactions.2. Math and Measurement in Science & Density of an Organic Liquid – students learn how to measure mass and volume with varied pieces of equipment and focus on the accuracy of those pieces of equipment in their calculation and determination of significant figures. Students also determine the identity of an unknown organic liquid using density determination.*3. Discovery of Physical & Chemical Properties – students are given the materials to conduct various procedures. They construct a procedure for each of the eight changes to be observed, have their procedures approved by the instructor, and then carry out the procedures. The data collected is used to develop a set of criteria for determining whether a given change is chemical or physical. 4. Stiochiometry Lab – students determine the correct mole ratio of reactants in an exothermic reaction by mixing different amounts of reactants and graphing temperature changes.5. Copper Cycle Lab – students will perform a series of reactions, starting with copper and ending with copper. Students will calculate the percent recovered.6. pH Titration Lab – students perform a titration and then determine the concentration of an HCl solution by using a pontiometric titration curve and finding the equivalence point. Data is graphed in a graphing program.7. Molar Volume of Gas Lab – students will collect a gas by water displacement and compare actual volume collected to theoretical volume.8. Molar Mass of a Volatile Liquid – students use the Dumas method for determination of the molar mass of an unknown liquid.*9. Bonding Lab – students experimentally investigate ionic and molecular substances deducing properties of their bonds in the process.*10. Investigation of Solids – students investigate types of solids using various experimental techniques.11. Preparation of solutions – students make solutions of specified concentrations gravimetrically and by dilution. Solution concentrations will be checked for accuracy using a spectrophotometer.12.

Classroom Guidelines ______________________________________________________________

Attendance Attendance is mandatory as per school rules. Students will receive automatic referrals for skipping class. SKIPPING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!

Make-Up Work Students will be allowed only 2 SCHOOL DAYS to make up work for absences. It is the student’s responsibility to find out what work they missed (notes, assignment, etc.) during their absence

on the day they return to class. A “Z” will be put in Pinnacle until the work is made up. Make-up tests will be a different version given from the original test. Make-Up tests will be given on the day the

student returns. If a student is absent on a test review day they must still take the test.

Tardiness Tardiness is not tolerated, after the first tardy students will receive a verbal warning. ON the fourth tardy the student will receive a Saturday detention.

Restroom/Hall Passes No restroom/hall passes will be allowed during the first and last 10 minutes of class. Students are encouraged to use the restroom during passing time or lunch so that they do not miss any classroom

instruction. If a student has any health issues, requiring them to use the rest room OFTEN must bring in documentation to

support this, otherwise excessive restroom use will result in pass restrictions. Any student exceeding 5 minutes on a restroom pass will receive a detention. Passes to other classes, guidance, or the front office will not be given during class time unless the student is called

down.

Cell Phones/Pagers/Electronic Devices Cell phones and electronic devices (other than those necessary for class as expressed by the instructor) are not to

be on or used during class. If they go off or are in use during class they will be confiscated and turned in to administration with a referral. If a cell phone or electronic device (such as a smart watch) is being used during a test, this will constitute as

cheating and result in a zero on that test.

Food No food, eating or drinking is permitted in class.

Notebooks Notebooks are a requirement and to be kept organized, neat and orderly (see materials in syllabus). Notebooks will be checked for a grade, with prior notice from the instructor

Respect There will be no use of derogatory, oppressive, or any language that is harmful to any person. Be courteous and respectful at all times to everyone in the class. Respect towards one another and all of your instructors is always expected anything less will NOT be tolerated.

Student Code of Conduct These class guidelines are in addition to all guidelines and rules in the student handbook and Code of Conduct.
