This boot camp is intended for use at the beginning of AP Chemistry for students to acclimate to the speed, style, and rigor of AP questions. This would make a good summer assignment, or review for a student who had a year off from chemistry prior to AP. Practice & review on the following: metric conversionspolyatomic ionsmolar mass/moles/stoich conversionsmolarity & density calculationsreactions - types & balancingempirical & molecular formulasThere are 50 skills questions broken down by top

This question bank corresponds to Zumdahl's 10th edition, Chapter 5 and has AP Style multiple choice questions. Questions are based off of AP Practice Exam questions (that are referenced).

Questions cover the following: gas stoichiometrygas lawspartial pressurekinetic molecular theoryMaxwell-Boltzmann distributionsreal gasesMultiple versions of each question give flexibility to create different versions

I do this lab the first week of school during AP Chemistry. In this lab students determine how to separate food coloring via paper chromatography. Two student handouts are included (each is two pages) as a zip file. The first is for students present on lab day. The second is a lab alternative for students who may be absent, using an online simulation. A few notes for the teacher and a grading breakdown are included as a 3rd page. This lab could easily be adapted for lower grade level students,

This file is the student data sheet (formatted to be cut into half sheets) for a quick activity I do when teaching my students about accuracy and precision. This helps them visualize and begin to analyze data. On my front lab table I tape down a hula hoop. In the center I make an "x" with tape. I have students throw bean bags from around the room (one round it might be all from the same spot, one round might be from where they pick, etc.) so that they land in the hoop. Students use the data she

This is a free response question written in format like AP does. This question revolves around density and basic data analysis skills students might learn at the beginning of a PreAP Chemistry course. Each successive part of an FRQ (a-f here) potentially builds on itself and emphasizes a deeper understanding of the topic. The first page is the question which I give to students as part of their first unit test, but this could be used as a quiz, classwork, or homework assignment. The second and t

This assignment contains a table of 8 species for students to determine protons, neutrons, electrons, mass numbers, and notations for. Ions and isotopes are mixed into this. Following are four questions revolving around ions and isotopes, including 2 average atomic mass questions. This zip file contains 7 Word documents: 1. a version formatted as a full sheet of paper 2. a version formatted to be cut into half sheets 3. a key 4. an alternative version formatted as a full sheet of paper 5. an al

Have students learn about the periodic table by reading a short article (2 pages) and completing interactive notes (4 pages). Students will compile information, make connections to previous knowledge, and label and color the periodic table 3 different ways. There is a wide array of information coded in the periodic table, and visually seeing that content colored and labeled helps students make sense of it all. Students will learn about: - properties of metals, nonmetals, & metalloids - groups
