COURSE OUTLINE The course is designed to pursue college-level studies in chemistry while still in secondary school. As such, the instruction level will assume that the student has a solid back ground in algebraic and arithmetic techniques. The course will be organized around 6 big ideas: 1. The 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. Structure of Matter 2. Chemical and physical properties of materials can be explained by the structure and the arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules and the forces between them. Properties of Matter Characteristics, States, and Forces of Attraction 3. Changes in matter involve the rearrangement and/or reorganization of atoms and/or the transfer of electrons. Chemical Reactions 4. Rates of chemical reactions are determined by details of the molecular collisions. Reaction Rates 5. The laws of thermodynamics describe the essential role of energy and explain and predict the direction of changes in matter. Thermodynamics 6. Any 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. Equilibrium

EXPECTED STUDENT LEARNING RESULTS Students will have the opportunity to improve their skills in complex thinking and become effective communicators through reading, writing, solving mathematical problems, laboratory investigations, and oral presentations. Independent work and time management will help the student become a responsible, self-directed learner. Working with others during problem solving, laboratory investigations, peer tutoring, and global chemical issues that face society will contribute to the student becoming a more involved citizen. Understanding and following laboratory safety rules and understanding chemical toxicity encourages a healthy lifestyle. investigations will be an integral part of the course. 25% of instructional time will be devoted to hands-on laboratory work. Each student will be required to keep a bound notebook of these investigations. Each investigation will consist of a 25-minute lab preparation activity the day before each experiment and a 25-minute post laboratory analysis/conclusion activity the day after the experiment. The experimental portion of the lab is designed to utilize an entire 55-minute period. Therefore it is essential that you be prepared to begin experimental bench work the moment you walk into class. The laboratory report for each investigation will consist of purpose, chemical safety, procedure, data, data analysis, error analysis, and conclusion. Teaching Methods We will utilize the flipped classroom method for instruction. That is, each student will be responsible for accessing the lecture online before class. Note taking will be expected and evaluated for each lecture. Class time will be spent in small groups working on problems sets. Thus, concept discussions and problem solving will be emphasized. Each student will be expected to be prepared and take part in these activities. The pacing of the course will be near college atmosphere, the course coverage will be extensive and rapid. Thus, it will be necessary for each student to budget their study time accordingly in order to keep pace with the subject matter. Forming a study group and meeting once a week is highly recommended. ASSESSMENT AP Chemistry is a WEIGHTED grade subject. Thus, except for a D & F mark, all other grades are based on a 5-point scale. The course will be based on a point scale. Each test, quiz, lab, and assignment will have a point value. 99% of the overall grade will be determined by point accumulation. 1% of the final grade will be of a subjective nature. Students class participation and preparation, work quality, and academic growth will be considered in this portion of the mark. Scale: 90%=A, 80%=B, 68%=C, 58%=D. 55% of the grade is determined by tests and quizzes. 25% is laboratory. 10% is classwork. 10% is homework. There is no extra credit in this class, instead, complete all assigned work on time. No late homework (lecture notes) will be accepted. The only exception is absence, a student has one day to turn in the missed homework. In addition, any student that does not take the

AP Chemistry exam is required to take a 2 nd semester final exam which will count for 20% of their final grade. CITIZENSHIP In essence, any behavior that impedes the normal educational process of another student is considered unacceptable behavior. Tardiness, general disruptive behavior, lack of effort, all plays a part in this mark. Anyone who does not follow the lab safety rules, or who jeopardizes the safety of another will be recommended for expulsion from the class. ABSENCE Being absent on the day of a test, quiz, lab, or other assignments requires the student, on the first day of return, to make arrangements to complete these tasks. They are to be made up during lunch or after school. Upon making up the third test or quiz, students are no longer eligible to earn the highest mark possible on that assessment, that is, an A. COMMUNICATION I am available for tutoring most days during advisory and Wednesday after school, from 2:15-2:45. You can leave messages for me on the phone, but the most efficient way to communicate is by email. Student grades are posted on the Power School website. If you do not have a username and password I highly encourage you to contact the PLHS site tech to obtain these.
