AP CHEMISTRY 2013-2014 AP Chemistry Semester I: 2A Teacher: Dr. Clarke, Email: [email protected] Planning: 1A and 3B Phone: 410-969-9010 x221 Departmental Duties: 4A and 1B Office Hours: Tuesday and Wednesday 2:10 PM – 2:50 PM AP Chemistry Syllabus Instructional Philosophy AP Chemistry provides students with a wide variety of opportunities to explore topics that are relevant, meaningful, and of interest to them. Constructivism is the basis for learning in A.P. Chemistry and prepares students to become lifelong learners. Students learn from laboratory experiments, data analysis, essay writing, and class discussion. The course contributes to the development of students’ abilities to think clearly and to express their ideas with clarity and logic both orally and in writing. Collaboration occurs within groups during a lab, and students communicate findings in lab reports and class discussions following labs. Students will obtain a depth of understanding of fundamentals and competence in dealing with chemical problems. Course Description AP Chemistry is a year-long course designed to prepare students to perform well on the AP Chemistry exam and to be equivalent to the general chemistry course usually taken during the first year of college. Topics include structure of matter, kinetic theory of gases, chemical equilibria, chemical kinetics, and thermodynamics. An emphasis is placed on chemical calculations, mathematical formulation of principles, and laboratory work done by students. Approximately one double period class per week is spent in a laboratory activity. Class periods meet every other day. Each semester consists of two nine-week marking periods. Prerequisites AP Chemistry is open to all interested students who have completed year-long Chemistry and Algebra courses. Students should refresh their memories of Algebra skills and be ready to work on math problems by hand. Because calculators are not permitted on the multiple-choice section of the AP Exam, a calculator’s use will be limited in class. Grading Policy Grades are based on the following standards in accordance with district policy.
