1 AP Chemistry Summer Assignment Mr. Davila ext. 1518

2 Dear Future AP Chemistry Students and Their Parents, It is a pleasure to have you express an interest in taking AP Chemistry course for the upcoming school year. The College Board sponsors the Advanced Placement Program, which allows students in high school to obtain college credit and/or placement above introductory course level at the college they attend. This is a program of credit by examination. The College Board hires the Educational Testing Service (ETS) to write and grade the AP Chemistry Exams. Grades are assigned on a basis of 1-5 with a as a passing score. Over 150,000 students worldwide took the exam last year and about 5% passed with a score of or higher. It is a privilege to be a part of this beneficial program. This privilege, however, does not mean that the road to success in this class will be easy. Both the student and the parent should not be surprised at the amount of work required for this class. It will not be unusual for you to be responsible for several assignments at one time. For example, there will be regular reading assignments and problem sets, on-line assignments, labs to write up, and time to study for tests and exams. Students should spend at least five- seven hours a week outside of class studying for this class. Also, do not be surprised if some students who are accustomed to making all A s, will suddenly begin making B s or C s on tests and start to doubt themselves, their teacher, and their decision to enter this course. You must keep in mind that you are taking a college level course with standards that are higher than usual. Students do not have to make A s on every test to do very well on the AP Exam. It is my belief that all students who are required to take General Chemistry in college need an AP Chemistry course above all others. This belief comes from the numerous students I remain in contact with who have experienced this course in the past. It is also a well-documented fact that students having AP Chemistry in high school do much better even in higher-level chemistry courses as compared to those who take only the first year equivalent course in college. In addition to these facts, colleges are known to use the first chemistry classes to weed out those students who are least qualified. With these considerations in mind, it is obvious that a good preparation in high school is required and will only benefit those who choose to take this course. Not only must AP Chemistry class provide evidence of learning chemistry concepts, it must also provide a strong laboratory component. The problem comes with sufficient time in class to incorporate the appropriate labs to reinforce these concepts. The challenge here lies in the student. It is not necessary to spend class time working out large numbers of example problems when developing a specific concept. A few types of problems can be addressed and then we move on the next topic. The course can move faster and not lose quality if more of the responsibility for learning is placed on the student. Extra class time before and/or after school and on some weekends will be a must. Because of the vast amount of time required for this class or any other AP class, your extracurricular activities should be chosen wisely. I have known many AP Chemistry students in the past who have been involved in activities such as band, athletics, or other clubs, and have done well in the class. However, you must truly be able to budget your time and keep yourself organized. Self-discipline and self-motivation is a key part of being successful in the AP Chemistry course. I look forward to next year and I hope that this information has been helpful.

3 As you probably already know, AP Chemistry is a very challenging course with an equally challenging AP test. The material is detailed and we have several topics to cover. You will need to refresh your memory on information that was taught in prior Chemistry classes so that we can move on to expand on your knowledge base. Your goal should be to complete the summer assignment and questions as they arise. We will reinforce this review with some lab activities during the beginning of the semester. We will have an exam on the first day of class on items that are to be memorized and the first three chapters of the text. The course will move on from the initial review into more advanced studies of first year college chemistry. The topics will build upon your knowledge from prior Chemistry classes and cover more application and detail. You will begin to place the pieces together in the jigsaw puzzle called Chemistry. You can me at Davila.jeremiahj@gmail.com if you need assistance or have questions. Also, we will use Google classroom, Edmodo, and Remind. I encourage you to use the online sources I have created. Have a wonderful summer and see you in August! Sincerely, Mr. Davila Required materials: 1. A Ring Binder: 1 Inch, with Pockets Any Color. A Package of Lined Notebook Paper with -Holes.

4 AP Chemistry Summer Assignment Welcome to AP Chemistry!! Since this course is fast paced and there is a lot of reading, writing, and analyzing throughout the year, we must get a head start! That means you have summer reading and assignments to do. The good news is that you have seen the content I need you to review in previous classes, especially your chemistry class. The bad news is they tend to be topics that have been challenging for you. In the required text (Zumdahl), I need you to read Chapter 1 Chemical Foundations; Chapter Atoms, Molecules, and Ions; and Chapter Stoichiometry. Extra Credit: Watch all three episodes of "Mystery of Matter" a PBS special and write a summary (50 words maximum), answering the following: What are their findings of each scientist, the significances of each their findings and why? As a present and future scientist yourself, of the seven scientists mentioned, who do you find the most interesting and why? Scientists Joseph Priestley, Antoine Lavoisier, Humphry Davy, Dmitri Mendeleev, Marie Curie, Harry Moseley, Glenn Seaborg You will receive 5% extra toward your first day exam if this summary is handed in by the first day of school. It must be typed and ed to me as an attachment or shared via google docs. The Assignment: Read Chapter 1, Chapter and Chapter. As you read, take notes on each of the sections listed below. a. The notes should be written on college ruled composition paper. b. Start your notes on the third page. You can choose to write on only one side of a page or both sides it is up to you. c. Each section should have a heading, with the notes underneath it. Skip spaces when appropriate. Your notes should be easy to read and there should be space in the margins to make additional comments. If you want to use a Cornell Notes format that is advisable. Cornell Notes Directions Complete the assignment problems listed in the table below on lined paper. Make sure each section is identified (labeled). Show your work when necessary. DO NOT PUT IN YOUR NOTEBOOK. d. After the notes, complete the assignments listed below. Make sure you identify the problem with a problem and page number. As always, for explanations use complete sentences, restating the question in your answer. For calculations, show all work and include units with your answer. Chapter Assignment Points Completion Chapter 1 Notes Section 1.
