Our Objective To assist AP Chemistry students in achieving their highest possible potentials through the implementation of a system of resources designed to methodically build knowledge and understanding of the curriculum, while disclosing the solution strategies and descriptive techniques necessary to maximize one's score on the final exam The Teacher's Resource Package Includes: 37 slide show lectures, which cover the entire College Board Curriculum and the content behind every question that has appeared on a published AP Chemistry Exam since 1999; Worksheets for each lecture with questions that require the same type of problem solving strategies and explanations as those from past AP Chemistry exams; The 22 recommended labs with problems and procedures designed to train students to answer lab based free response questions; Unit tests that contain the same types of multiple choice and free response questions that students can expect to see on the AP Chemistry Exam. Description of Materials Slide Show Presentations The lectures span the following units: Atomic Theory, Nomenclature, and Stoichiometry; Chemical Bonding; Aqueous Solutions and Chemical Reactions; Thermodynamics; Equilibrium; Gases; Electrochemistry; Intermolecular Forces; Solutions; Acids and Bases; Kinetics; Nuclear Chemistry; and Organic Chemistry. The lecture outlines for students contain six slides per page and space to add additional information. The teacher's lecture notes provide a thorough coverage of the content. Worksheets with Complete Solution Keys Each lecture has an associated worksheet with questions written in the same style as those found on past AP Chemistry exams. All of the worksheets come with answer keys that provide complete solutions and in depth explanations for every question. The 22 Recommended Labs with Solution Keys The 22 Recommended Labs include: Determination of the Formula of a Compound; Determination of the Percentage of Water in a Hydrate; Molar Mass by Vapor Density; Molar Mass by Freezing Point Depression; Determination of the Molar Volume of a Gas; Standardization of a Solution; Titration of Vinegar; Concentration of a Solution by REDOX Titration; Mass and Mole Relationship in a Reaction; Examination of Acid Base Indicators; Finding the Rate and Order of a Reaction; Determination of Enthalpy Change; Qualitative Analysis of Ions; Synthesis and Analysis of a Coordination Compound; Gravimetric Analysis; Spectrophotometric Analysis; Chromatography; Preparation and Properties of Buffered Solutions; Determination of an Electrochemical Series; Electrochemical Measurements; and Synthesis of an Ester. The answer keys have a point system, which is modeled after the scoring guidelines from past AP Chemistry exams. A complete list of the chemicals and equipment required to complete all 22 labs is provided. Free Response and Multiple Choice Tests Each of the thirteen units comes with four free response and four multiple choice tests. All test questions require the same type of analytical thinking as those that are typically seen on the AP Exam. The solution keys are modeled after the scoring guidelines from past AP Chemistry Exams. This system of marking effectively trains students to structure their answers to free response questions with the details necessary to maximize their final scores. |
