Email: genglerb@luhsd.net
Freedom High School 2014-2015
AP Chemistry is a college equivalent class designed to prepare students for the state of California
content standards in the subject and the AP chemistry exam. This course meets the UC and CSU
elective requirement. Credit= 10 credits
Students are expected to :
 Have your paper and pencil out when the bell rings.
 Turn in all assignments in the first 5 minutes of class to the front basket.
 Clean and replace any equipment or materials used.
 Let Ms. Gengler know if you will be absent from class for a school activity BEFORE you
leave.

Classroom rules
1) Be on time.
2) Bring all materials to class.
3) Be in seat and ready to work when the bell rings.
4) Respect and be polite to all people and their property.
5) Obey all school wide rules.
Grading
Points will be earned on Tests, Quizzes, Projects, Presentations, Lab write-ups and Homework.
Homework= 5%
Lab reports= 25%
Quizzes, tests, projects= 70%
Textbook= Zumdahl, Steven, and Susan Zumdahl. Chemistry,9th edition,
Boston, Mass: Houghton Mifflin.
Homework
1) Homework will be assigned everyday and is typically worth 5 points per assignment.
2) Homework could be reading the textbook, outlining, doing pre-labs, completing lab writeups, homework problems, preparing presentations or studying.
3) All assignments are due at the beginning of the period. All late work is worth ½ credit and
can be turned in for the duration of the unit. After the unit is complete the work is worth
ZERO points unless you have an excused absence.
4) An outline of the unit to be studied is due the second day of the unit. You will be given a
tentative schedule before the summer to help you prepare.
Labs:
1) AP chemistry is a lab science and it stresses lab related chemistry. You must pass the lab
portion of the class.
2) It is required for you to do a pre-lab on an upcoming lab assignment. If it is not complete
before the lab day, you will be unable to participate.
3) While data may be accumulated in groups, you are required to do a write up individually.
You can receive help from other students but you must use your own words.
4) Lab safety is required at all times.
5) Labs will be put in an approved carbon copy notebook hand written. You must use blue or
black ink. Mistakes must be crossed out and not whited out!
*When making outlines look for bold words, chapter headings, numbers, example equations,
describe pictures, and trends in charts and tables.

Review for AP Chem Exam
In May
Note: Reactions will be covered throughout both semesters. Information is available in chapter 4
and throughout textbook. Quizzes on Ions and then Reactions (once we’ve memorized all ions)
will be given every Friday.
AP Chemistry Ion Sheet – Ions used previously on AP Tests!
1st week Quiz: All Monatomic Cations and Anions
2nd week Quiz: All Monatomic Cations and Anions + Cations w/ Multiple Charges
3rd week Quiz: All Monatomic Cations and Anions + Cations w/ Multiple Charges
