Course Description
This AP Chemistry course is designed to be the equivalent of the general chemistry course usually taken during the first
year of college. For most students, the course enables them to undertake, as a freshman, second year work in the
chemistry sequence at their institution or to register in courses in other fields where general chemistry is
a prerequisite. This course is structured around the six big ideas articulated in the AP Chemistry curriculum framework
provided by the College Boa rd. A special emphasis will be placed on the seven science practices, which capture important
aspects of the work that scientists engage in, with learning objectives that combine content with inquiry and reasoning
skills. AP Chemistry is open to all students that have completed a year of chemistry who wish to take part in a rigorous and
academically challenging course.
Big Idea 1: Structure of matter
Big Idea 2: Properties of matter-characteristics, states, and forces of attraction
Big Idea 3: Chemical reactions
Big Idea 4: Rates of chemical reactions
Big Idea 5: Thermodynamics
Big Idea 6: Equilibrium

The College Board. AP Chemistry Guided Inquiry Experiments: Applying the Science
Practices. 2013.
Required Materials
TI 84 Plus Graphing calculator, splash proof goggles, and a carbon capable laboratory notebook
Labs
The labs completed require following or developing processes and procedures, taking observations, and data
manipulation. See lab list provided for lab details. Students communicate and collaborate in lab groups; however, each
student writes a laboratory report in a lab notebook for every lab they perform. A minimum of25% of student contact
time will be spent doing hands-on laboratory activities.
The 10 Parts of a Laboratory Report
A specific format will be given to the student for each lab. Students must follow that format and label all sections very
clearly. AP Chemistry lab reports are much longer and more in depth than the ones completed in the first year chemistry
course. Therefore, it is important that students don't procrastinate when doing pre-lab and post-lab work. Late labs will
not be accepted. Labs not completed in class must be done at lunch or before/ after school by appointment.
Pre-Lab Work
Pre-lab work is to be completed and turned in on the day the lab is performed.
1. Title
The title should be descriptive. For example, "pH Titration Lab" is a descriptive title and "Experiment 5"is not a
descriptive title.
2. Date
This is the date the student performed the experiment.
3. Purpose
A purpose is a statement summarizing the "point" of the lab.
4. Procedure Outline
Students need to write an outline of the procedure. They should use bulleted statements or outline format to make
it easy to read. If a student is doing a guided inquiry lab, they may be required to write a full procedure that they
develop.
5. Pre-Lab Questions
Students will be given some questions to answer before the lab is done. They will need to either rewrite the
question or incorporate the question in the answer. The idea here is that when someone (like a college professor)
looks at a student's lab notebook, they should be able to tell what the question was by merely looking at their lab
report. It is important to produce a good record of lab work.
6. Data Tables
Students will need to create any data tables or charts necessary for data collection in the lab.
During the Lab
7. Data
Students need to record all their data directly in their lab notebook. They are NOTto be recording data on their
separate lab sheet. They need to label all data clearly and always include proper units of measurement. Students
should underline, use capital letters, or use any device they choose to help organize this section well. They should
space things out neatly and clearly.
Post-Lab Work
8. Calculations and Graphs
Students should show how calculations are carried out. Graphs need to be titled,
axes need to be labeled, and units need to be shown on the axis.To receive credit for
any graphs, they must be at least 1h page in size.
9. Conclusions
This will vary from lab to lab. Students will usually be given direction as to whatto
write, but it is expected that all conclusions will be well thought out and well written.
10. Post Lab Error Analysis Questions
Follow the same procedure as for Pre-Lab Questions.
Advanced Placement Chemistry-The Laboratory Notebook
A record of lab work is an important document, which will show the quality of the lab work
that students have performed.

STRUCTURE OF THE COURSE:
[CR2]
AP Chemistry is built around six big ideas and seven science practices. The big ideas are:
Big Idea 1: The chemical elements are fundamental building materials of matter, and all matter can be understood in
terms of arrangements of atoms.These atoms retain their identity in chemical reactions.
Big Idea 2: Chemical and physical properties of materials can be explained by the structure and the arrangement of atoms,
ions, or molecules and the forces between them.
Big Idea 3: Changes in matter involve the rearrangement andjor reorganization of atoms an djor the transfer of electrons.
Big Idea 4: Rates of chemical reactions are determined by details of the molecular collisions.
Big Idea 5: The laws of thermodynamics describe the essential role of energy and explain and predictthe direction of
changes in matter.
Big Idea 6: Any bond or intermolecular attraction that can be formed can be broken. These two processes are in a
dynamic competition, sensitive to initial conditions and external perturbations.
The science practices for AP Chemistry are designed to get the students to think and act like scientists.The science
practices are:
Science Practice 1: The student can use representations and models to communicate scientific phenomena and solve
scientific problems.
Science Practice 2: The student can use mathematics appropriately.
Science Practice 3: The student can engage in scientific questioning to extend thinking or to guide investigations within
the context of the AP course.
Science Practice 4: The student can plan and implement data collection strategies in relation to a particular scientific
question.
Science Practice 5: The student can perform data analysis and evaluation of evidence. Science Practice 6: The student
can work with scientific explanations and theories. Science Practice 7: The student is able to connect and relate
knowledge across various
scales, concepts, and representations in and across domains.

Review:
Students are accountable for answering homework questions
about particle motions and kinetic energies of a sample at
different temperatures while viewing a Podcast. The podcast
begins with particulate animations and the narrator interprets
the animations to show how kinetic energy distributions can
explain the effect of temperature on the rate of a chemical
reaction. The questions lead to the interpretation of activation
energy on the distribution curve and eventually the refining of
collision theory.

physical, chemical, biological, or environmental processes that
are reversible, student is able to construct an explanation that
connects the observations to the reversibility of the underlying
chemical reactions or processes.

Students view the NO/N2 04 Equilibrium simulation available
on the General Equilibria Animations Index page at Iowa State
University and verbally report and discuss their answers to
teacher supplied questions regarding the number of reactant
and product molecules present at a particular point in the
equilibrium process, the breaking and forming of bonds during
the process, and how the reactant and product molecules
are changing in order to illustrate the dynamic nature of
equilibrium. [CR3f]
