Laboratory Work: Laboratory work is an integral part of the AP Chemistry course. Including pre-lab discussion, post-lab discussion, and hands-on laboratory time, 2 percent of instructional time is spent in laboratory experiences. [CRa] These experiences help students build laboratory skills, illustrate concepts discussed in the course, and develop conceptual knowledge through guided-inquiry. Additionally, these experiences offer opportunities for students to develop their writing and graphic communication skills and to effectively communicate scientific information to their colleagues in the classroom. All students are required to keep a lab notebook. This notebook is used to report the purpose, hypothesis, materials, safety, procedure, all data, data analysis, error analysis, results, and conclusions in a lab notebook that is submitted for grading. [CR7]. The following is a list of 18 hands-on laboratory experiences. The first seven are guided-inquiry based labs from the College Board AP Chemistry Lab Manual. The other labs include guided-inquiry, structured-inquiry and confirmatory labs that illustrate important concepts as well as allow student to build their laboratory and communication skills. In addition to these, smaller hands-on chemical activities (mini-labs) are incorporated into many of the lessons. (e.g. Hand boiler Distillation, Tetrahedral Bubbles, Le Châtelier s Principle, etc.) Notated after the lab are the science practices that are incorporated into each activity. CRa Students are provided the opportunity to engage in investigative laboratory work integrated throughout the course for a minimum of 2 percent of instructional time. CR7 The course provides opportunities for students to develop, record, and maintain evidence of their verbal, written, and graphic communication skills through laboratory reports, summaries of literature or scientific investigations, and oral, written, and graphic presentations.

A comprehensive, standardized semester exam is administered at the end of the first semester and a final exam at the end of the year. AP Exam Review: The final 1 full class days before the AP Chemistry Exam are used for the 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 and are quizzed on their progress. Several practice AP Exams are administered as part of the three-week review prior to the AP Chemistry Exam. Course Outline: [CR2] Chapters in Tro Chemistry AP Chem Topic Covered 1.

Example Assignments or Activities: Big Idea 1: Structure of matter. LO 1.18 The student is able to express the law of conservation of mass quantitatively and qualitatively using symbolic representations and particulate drawings. Using ball and stick models, the student is asked to simulate a chemical reaction and demonstrate that the Law of Conservation of Mass and Atoms is a result of the rearrangement of atoms rather than the creation or destruction of atoms. CR2 The course is structure around the enduring understandings within the big ideas as described in the AP Chemistry Curriculum Framework. CRb Students are provided the opportunity to engage in a minimum of 16 hands-on laboratory experiments integrated throughout the course while using basic laboratory equipment to support the learning objectives listed within the AP Chemistry Curriculum Framework. CR6 The laboratory investigations used throughout the course allow students to apply the seven science practices defined in the AP Chemistry Curriculum Framework. At minimum, six of the required 16 labs are conducted in a guided-inquiry format. CR3a The course provides Idea 1: Structure of matter.
Big Idea 2: Properties of matter-characteristics, states, and forces of attraction LO 2.2 The student is able to explain the relative strengths of acids and bases based on molecular structure, interparticle forces, and solution equilibrium. The student can explain how the strength of an oxoacid increases as the number of oxygen atoms in the formula increases using the ideas of molecular structure, relative pull for electrons, and the distribution of electron density in the molecule. Big Idea 3: Chemical reactions LO 3.7 The student is able to identify compounds as Bronsted- Lowry acids, bases, and/or conjugate acid-base pairs, using proton-transfer reactions to justify the identification. The student can provide examples in which H 2 O is classified as a Brønsted-Lowry acid and as a Brønsted-Lowry base showing whether H 2 O acts as a proton donor or acceptor. Big Idea 4: Rates of chemical reactions LO 4.2 The student is able to analyze concentration vs. time data to determine the rate law for a zero-, first-, or second-order reaction. Given a set of concentration vs. time data, students manipulate and graph the data in various ways to determine the order of the reaction as well as the value of the rate constant, k. Big Idea : Thermodynamics LO.8 The student is able to draw qualitative and quantitative connections between the reaction enthalpy and the energies involved in the breaking and formation of chemical bonds. Using average bond dissociation energies, students determine the number and kind of bonds broken and bonds formed during a chemical change and calculate the enthalpy of the reaction. Big Idea 6: Equilibrium LO 6.8 The student is able to use Le Châtelier s principle to predict the direction of the shift resulting from various possible stresses on a system at chemical equilibrium. Watching a demonstration of an equilibrium system, e.g. 2NO 2 (g) N 2 O 4 (g), students predict the color change that will be observed when changes are made to the temperature or pressure of the gaseous system.
