AP Chemistry Final Instructions:
Your Final will consist of two parts; one part can be done at home, the other part must be done in
class during your final time. If you have another AP exam during the time of your final, please
set up a time with me to complete the other part of your final.
Part 1: Create your own Crossword puzzle
You will be creating your own crossword puzzle using the AP chemistry word bank
provided. You are required to use the following stipulations:
-
-
-
-
50 words (25 across, 25 down)
You must use a set number of words from each section on the word bank
o 6 words from words from last year, 4 words from stoichiometry, 5 words from
thermochemistry, 10 words from electrons/structures, 6 words from solidliquid-gas, 4 words from rate, 8 words from equilibrium, 4 words from redox,
and 3 words from radiation
You may use the whole word or the abbreviation—this is only for words with
abbreviations such as Redox or VSEPR
You must create hints for these 50 words. These hints can be the definitions or can be
the formulas (i.e. the hint for “free energy” could be the definition or the formula for
free energy)
Color in dark spaces for spaces in the words and draw in dashes for words that have
dashes (i.e. Significant Figures—there will be a colored in square between the “t” in
significant and the “f” in figures. Or oxidation-Reduction—there will be a “-“: drawn
in between the two words.
You will turn in three versions of this cross word puzzle. One for your own grade and
one for someone else to fill in, and an answer key for the puzzle
Part 2: Complete someone else’s word bank
On the day of your final (seniors and juniors alike) you will trade crossword puzzles with
someone else in the class. If you do not have someone to trade with, you may also complete my
crossword puzzle that I will be making with the same words.
-
You may bring with you a hand written or typed word bank with definitions and/or
formulas for all of the words to use as a cheat sheet on the final
