 * We'll try to use this space to keep you updated on what's going on in Mr. A's chemistry class. I will include preAP notes along with AP. You should be able to post comments, I think.**

**AP Chem: Tutoring is available during before school, 8:15-9:00.**

 * Grades are based on the following: 40% Classwork, 25% Tests, 20% projects or Labs and 15% six weeks test.**
 * **1st Semester Syllabus will be given in class:** Review of Chem1, Stoichiometry, Reaction types, Net-ionics, Electrochem, Thermochem,.

Important Dates: //AP Chemistry Exam date:// **Monday, May 4th, 2016.**


 * Saturday sessions at Townview from 8:30 - 2:30 (lunch provided).These are the dates**: TBA

AP Websites**: w.sciencegeek.net; w.shs.nebo.edu (this site has an extended list of useful websites, too.; w.chemmybear.com. And, there are others along with the official College Board site.**


 * The first 2 weeks of class will be devoted to reviewing, with an AP twist, previous knowledge from Chem I. We will include some new topics such as Empirical/Molecular formulas eventually leading into Stoichiometry, an important concept in AP. Once done with that, we'll be into new topics such as: Reactions types, Redox, Balancing redox in Acid solutions. This will then lead into the 1st of the big 6 in AP: **Electrochem**.
 * What are the Big 6: **Electrochem, Thermochem, net-ionics, kinetics, Periodic trends & Equilibrium.**


 * Stoichiometry Exam will cover % composition, Empirical/Molecular formulas, Molarity, Dilution, Ion concentrations and Stoichiometry.**


 * First Semester Topics: Stoichiometry, net-ionics, Redox, Electrochem.**

=Welcome to 2nd Semester:= Topics: Thermochem, Periodic Trends, Kinetics, Acid-Base, Equilibrium.


 * 4th 6 weeks**: We'll finish with Thermochem. You'll receive your packet and we'll work from there. After that we'll move to Kinetics ( pun intended).
 * 5th 6 weeks**: A-B chemistry and then Equilibrium, Periodic Trends and Bonding-IMFs (intermolecular foreces - use Modern Chem textbook).
 * 6th 6 weeks**. Review for the exam

=**Welcome to.**...= =**preAP chemistry: Tutoring will be in the mornings, 8:15 - 8:45 am.** .=

//**Grades are based on**//: **40% Classwork (HW and quizzes), 25% Tests, 20% on Labs and 15% on six weeks test**.


 * 1st 6 weeks Topics: Lab safety; Metric review; Density; Physical & Chemical properties and changes; Atomic Theory.**

Lab Safety Quiz and first lab will be the first Friday. First 2 weeks We'll be covering 1) Significant figures, 2) Interpreting Graphs, 3) Scientific Notation, 4) Dimensional Analysis, 5) Metric Review

*//**HW will be posted on the white board as well as here as we go along.**//



**Second 6 Weeks**:

 * Third 6 Weeks:**

=Welcome to 2nd Semester=


 * 4th Six weeks**.

We'll be starting with Stoichiometry: You'll receive your handout in class. We will not be using the textbook, but if you need to refer to it. Next will be Nuclear Chemistry. Again, we'll focus on our class discussion. If you need the power point, see me and I can email to you.

We'll begin next with Gas Laws. I'll lead you through the problems associated with gas laws. We'll be using parts of the text.


 * 5th Six Weeks:**

After Gas laws, we'll proceed with proceed to Solution Chemistry. This will include parts of a solution; unsaturated vs saturated; Molarity and Dilution problems. Power points may be emailed to parents as requested. This corresponds with Ch 16 in your text. We'll then begin discussing Acid-Base chemistry.


 * 6th Six Weeks:**

We'll conclude the six weeks by starting Acid-Base chemistry. We will not use the text, but this corresponds with Ch. 15 in your text. Included topics are the definitions of Acids and Bases; pH calculations; A-B neutralization After we're done with A-B chemistry, we'll begin review for the Spring ACP. You'll receive a handout packet detailing the review topics.





Here's the metric review for those of you that need to practice.**
