Heinz, Hepburn, Sconzo. Flinn Scientific Summer Workshop Manual
Zumdahl. Chemistry. Heath and Co.
Course Time: AP Chemistry meets daily for one 84 minute block for one semester.
Course Description: In this class you will have the benefit of taking an advance general
chemistry course for high school credit. Students may also obtain college credit in one of two
ways: 1) take the AP Chemistry Test and obtain a three or above, 2) enroll through _______
University and obtain a 3 hr. lecture, 1 hour lab credit (for those who qualify based on ACT/GPA
requirements.) The biggest differences you will find in the class is it will cover topics in more
depth and move at a faster pace. You will be expected to do more work on your own and you
will have to prepare longer and more in depth for exams. You will have the opportunity to do
college level experiments in general and organic chemistry that would not normally be done in a
high school course.
Policies
- Grades:
In chemistry it is vital that you attend class, pay attention and take good notes,
complete your daily work/problems and keep-up as chapter 5 builds on chapter 4
which builds on 3 and so on. Your grade will be figured at the following
percentages: test 65%, 17% daily 18% lab reports
If you qualify and enroll for credit through Western Kentucky University for
college credit, the grade will be calculated as follows:
Lecture Grade-3 hrs of college credit Chem. 105 (Term A and B till Christmas)
or Chem 107 (Term B from January - Term C: Tests 80% and daily 20%
Lab Grade
-1 hr of college credit Chem. 106(fall semester) or 108 (spring)
50% test, 50% lab reports,
(lab quiz average count as a lab report)
To get AP credit, you must score a 3 or above on the AP test given in May.
- Labs
Labs will be performed each Wednesday. You will be completing college level
labs and using chemicals that would not be found in a regular high school
chemistry class. There will be a quiz before each lab to ensure that you have read
the lab. A lab report will be turned in for each student following the lab exercise.
The graded labs should be kept in a laboratory notebook.
- Homework: It is due each time we take a test
Homework is used to prepare you for the test and will be given well in advance
so you can plan around your other activities.
- Notebooks: Notebooks will be taken at the end of each Term. Your notebook should have all
notes and daily work. I grade each day of notes/activity/ being dated and being
complete. It will only be included on the ACHS grade not WKU grade.
- Sem. Test:
Semester test will be given sometime during the last week of
the semester. All students will take the semester test. The test will
be comprehensive.
