AP Chemistry - Schedule
Last updated: August 16th, 2011
Unit 1- Welcome Back to Chemistry (Atoms, Molecules, and Ions)
Introductions: Matter and Measurement – Chapter 1
Atoms, Molecules, and Ions – Chapter 2
Unit 2 - Stoichiometry and Predicting Reactions Products
Stoichiometry: Calculations with Chemical Formulas and Equations – Chapter 3
Aqueous Reactions and Solution Stoichiometry – Chapter 4
AP Chem during Academic Lab: October 14th, 2011
Text
Chemistry: The Central Science by Theodore L. Brown, H. Eugene LeMay, Jr., Bruce E.
Bursten, and Catherine J. Murphy, Pearson Prentice Hall, 11th edition, 2009.
The first two units of the course will primarily be review from your previously completed
year long Chemistry course. We will, however, be adding new depth and understanding
to the material. Please note that there is a quiz on Aug 25th, a second quiz on September
8th, and a test on chapters 1-4 on Sept. 16th.

The Homework Schedule
MC problems are due the day following the date assigned (e.g., MC2 assigned on the 2nd
day of class is due on the 3rd day of class).
Before-lab questions (BLQ) and procedure (BLP) are due on the day the lab is
performed. After-lab questions (ALQ) are due on the day following the completion of
the lab.
