Advanced Placement Chemistry Text Chemistry, The Central Science by Brown, LeMay, and Bursten, 10th ed., Pearson Prentice Hall, 2006. ISBN: 0-13-193719-7 Test Preparation 5 Steps to a 5: AP Chemistry, by John T. Moore and Richard H. Langley, McGraw Hill, 2012 Laboratory Resources Laboratory Experiments for Advanced Placement Chemistry, by Sally Ann Vonderbrink Advanced Chemistry With Vernier, by Jack Randall Chemistry, The Central Science, by Brown, Lemay, and Bursten Flinn Scientific AP Chemistry Labs Prerequisite Honors Chemistry Requirements AP Chemistry is a second-year chemistry course for the advanced student. The class meets 8 periods per week with two single (45-minute) period classes and three double (90- minute) classes. An additional 4-5 hours per week outside of class is expected. Each week, at least one of the double periods will be devoted to laboratory experimentation. Students will record all experiments in a laboratory notebook and follow the prescribed format. This lab report format includes the purpose, a brief description of the procedure followed, data and observations, calculations and a conclusion. The notebook is mandatory and graded at the completion of each lab. Students will work with a lab partner on all experiments. All students are expected to take the Advanced Placement Chemistry Exam in May. AP practice problems and free-response questions are completed at the end of each chapter. Students are encouraged to work together in order to facilitate learning.
