1998 D05 Advanced Placement Chemistry: Classroom and Lab

Syllabus: July 12-16 ED 522.002 Preparing Students for the AP Exam (Experienced AP Teachers) : Chemistry (Instructor: John Hnatow)

Dates and times that the course meets: Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Note required texts or supplemental readings: Brown, LeMay and Bursten Chemistry, 10e (included in supplied course materials,) and a familiarity of the information available on the AP Chemistry Homepage on AP Central.

Course objectives: This course is recommended for teachers with three or more years of AP Chemistry teaching experience. Similar in nature to the course for New AP Teachers, <522.001.>, this course will model an AP chemistry curriculum in which participants will be introduced to both the hands-on and theoretical aspects of specific content areas. The workshop leader will share the most current information regarding the AP Chemistry exam. Topics selected for advanced study will be thermodynamics, electrochemistry as well as acid-base equilibria with emphasis on weak acids and bases, buffers, hydrolysis reactions, titration curves, molecular structure and descriptive chemistry. A full, daily laboratory component will complement the selected topics. Participants will also have the opportunity to work both individually and collaboratively on homework problems and problem-solving strategies, and to review past AP exams. Chapter tests that mirror current AP Exams will be provided as frameworks for group work. (There will be about two hours of homework daily). Group discussions will center on strategies for presentation, and the integration of the laboratory component with the content. The class ultimately is intended to inspire teachers to motivate their students to achieve at the highest possible levels.

Attendance policy: If you are taking the course for credit, no absences are permitted. You must attend all five days all day to receive graduate credit.

Description of requirements: Each participant will be expected to do Pre-work before attending the class, to work daily on questions from previous AP exams, a supplied chemistry college textbook, and an electronic Chemistry Homework website. These questions will be presented and discussed in class each day. Each participant will be required to 1) Annotate and present a useful chemistry web site. 2) Complete lab calculations. 3) Design an AP wet lab practical exam or an AP dry lab using sample data for analysis and interpretation or develop an AP “design your own” inquiry experiment for presentation to the class. Somewhat subjectively, the quality of each participant’s class time will be evaluated. ROBERT S.

Pre-institute assignments:  Register on AP Central (if you haven't already done so.)  Prior to this workshop Read/Review any/all of the following topics from a college-level textbook if necessary: thermodynamics, electrochemistry, acid-base equilibria with emphasis on weak acids and bases, buffers, hydrolysis reactions, titration curves, molecular structure  Print hard copies and solve all twelve questions from the Free Response portions of both 2010 AP Chemistry Exams. (There are 6 questions on the Operational Exam, and 6 additional questions on Form B of the exam.)  Print or obtain a hard copy of the AP practice exam from AP Central (Audit page)  Request via email and fill out and return a participant survey ([email protected]) at your earliest convenience.

Participants are asked to bring the following  A laptop computer  A jump drive with files of your favorite classroom activity or experiment to share with other participants (also try to bring 25-30 hard-copies along)  A Texas Instruments TI83 or TI84 Graphing Calculator  Safety Glasses or goggles  A Chemistry related web site which you have found to be useful in your classroom to share with other participants. (One week prior to the start of the APSI, email the address of the web site to John along with a short description of the value of using the site in a chemistry class, so he can include it on his Goucher Chemistry APSI web site prior to the start of class)  Although you will receive at least one textbook when you arrive, you might want to bring a College-Level Chemistry book. Be prepared to solve and present AP test questions and textbook problems, perform experiments that correlate with and help teach content, and use the new Vernier LabQuest™, and we will discuss many ways to be successful teaching AP chemistry!
