AP Chemistry

Course Information and Summer Work Assignment

2018

(AH MAN! HOMEWORK OVER THE SUMMER!?!)

Welcome to Advanced Placement Chemistry. You made the right decision of taking the coolest and most challenging AP subject. The primary purpose of this assignment is to better prepare you for your advanced placement chemistry course you will be taking during the next school year.

Pick up AP Chemistry textbook from the library: TUESDAY May 22nd (Bring I.D. to check out textbook)

Chemistry: The Central Science, 13th edition by Brown and LeMay (blue textbook)

Complete the following assignments:

All of the chapters assigned are review from Chemistry Honors/CP. Due 1st Day of School. (NO LATE WORK)

• Chapters 1-2 Study Guide Questions

• Ch 1 and 2 packets

o You may write on wkst or do work on separate paper.

o For any math calculations (pencil only), you must show all work, units, and correct sig figs. Circle your answer.

• Go online to my website and print Teacher Notes for Ch 1 and 2. Read through them to help you with review. See next page for website

• Refresh your memory - Start LEARNING all common ions from the worksheet attached. You will need to memorize each of these ions, their formulas, their names, and their charges. Make flash cards!!! Since you have had Chem CP/Honors before, this should be mostly review.

• AP Chem Review days - End of July (Probably 7/23-7/27). I will choose 2 days to review Ch 1 and 2. You may come in to work on summer assignment. Will send message through Remind on which dates.

You will have an exam on Ch 1&2 on the 1st week of school. Be prepared

Don’t leave this until the end!!! Feel free to Remind “chat” or email me if you have questions. (see next page for instructions on joining AP Chem Remind)

Have a great summer and I’ll see you in August.

Online Resources

Mrs. Rodriguez website: NRchemistry.

Print Teacher Notes Ch 1 and 2 before school starts.

Read through them to help refresh your memory of the course material.

Course Materials:

The following items need to be purchased before school starts in August:

• Lots of pencils (homework) and pens (labs – blue/black ink)

• Erasers

• Highlighters

• Post-Its

• LOTS of Single Subject Spiral-Bound Notebook: college-ruled lined paper with holes already punched. (Probably about 8-10 for the year)

Your spiral bound notebooks will be used in this class daily for notes and HMWK.

• 25 dividers

• Flash drive – We type lab reports and need to save them when we go to computer lab.

• White computer paper – for lab reports
