This Activity will walk your students through the Periodic Trends they need to know for the AP Chemistry Exam: Ionization energyAtomic RadiusIonic radiusElectron AffinityElectronegativityIt comes with some introductory slides that define Coulomb’s Law, Coulombic Attraction, and Effective Nuclear Charge. After the students define these terms, they are free to go to the stations in any order. Just print out the cards, place them around your classroom, and have the students go! The words the stu

This lab is a great way to start your AP Chemistry year. My students complete a summer assignment where they practice measurement, sig figs, and conversions. This lab tests the students on just that! Plus it is an interactive activity for the first day of school. For each lab group you will need: BalanceSidewalk ChalkConstruction PaperGraduated CylinderBeakerIce CubesThermometerSolid Sodium carbonatePenniesBuret (set up somewhere for the class to use)This lab will come to you in the form of a

This lab is a great way to help your students understand and apply what they have learned about Mass Spectrometry. This lab envisions students as the mass spectrometer and the elusive element “M’n’Mium” is studied for its unique isotopes: Peanut, Mini, and Regular. For each lab group you will need: BalancePeanut MnMs, Mini MnMs, & Regular MnMs (Recommended: 2:4:5 ratio)This lab is designed to support mastery of Topic 1.2: Mass Spectra of Elements from the AP Chemistry Course and Exam Descriptio

Give your students targeted, high-quality practice with this Photoelectron Spectroscopy (PES) Worksheet, designed specifically to support mastery of Topic 1.6: Photoelectron Spectroscopy from the AP Chemistry Course and Exam Description (CED). This worksheet features 10 multi-part PES problems that help students analyze PES graphs, relate them to electron configurations, and understand atomic structure through data interpretation. Each question is crafted to reinforce key concepts, such as ioniz

Have you ever wanted to teach your students how to keep a proper lab notebook? Then this is the resource for you! This lab is a great way to introduce students to the rigor of an AP Chemistry lab, practice lab techniques, separate a mixture, and make ties to green chemistry. This lab is based on the College Board’s Lab Investigation 7. I typically complete this lab during Unit 1 of the College Board’s CED. For each lab group you will need: A mixture of sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate

Give your students targeted, high-quality practice with this Mass Spectrometry Worksheet, designed specifically to support mastery of Topic 1.2: Mass Spectra of Elements from the AP Chemistry Course and Exam Description (CED). This worksheet features 7 Mass Spectra problems that help students analyze graphs and relate them to the atomic mass through data interpretation. Each question is designed to reinforce key concepts, such as isotopes, calculating atomic mass, and element identification base
