AP Chemistry 2015 - 2016 General Information Text: Chemistry, Steven S. Zumdahl (6th edition) Recommended Pre-requisites: (Honors) Chemistry, Algebra II, Pre-calculus or concurrently enrolled Summary of Course: AP Chemistry is designed to be the equivalent to University level chemistry for science majors. The topics include structure of matter, stoichiometry, chemical reactions, solutions, gases, thermochemistry, periodicity, chemical bonding, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, acids & bases, electrochemistry, descriptive chemistry, coordination chemistry and complexes, nuclear chemistry, and introductory organic chemistry. AP Test: The AP Chemistry test is administered in May and is a product of The College Board. It consists of multiple choice, constructed response problems, equation writing and essay sections. Many colleges award credit depending on the candidate’s AP test score. The College or University determines what, if any, credit is granted and what scores are required. AP chemistry provides the student with a very strong chemistry background and will require University level work. This can be a very good learning experience for the well-prepared, well-motivated student. AP Chemistry will be one of, if not the most challenging course, that the student has taken up to this point. The students have been advised that there will be a great deal of work involved in this course, as this is the only way to learn chemistry to the depth required. Summer Work: As with many AP courses, the students will be expected to complete a certain amount of work, on their own, over the summer. This work will be a review of many of the topics covered in first year chemistry and is dependent on that knowledge base. The summer work required for AP Chemistry students is listed below. From Appendix One read sections A1.1, A1.3 and page A7. Read Chapter One and do questions/problems page 32 #18-21, 23, 25, 26, 27, 31a,b, 41, 44, 49a,b, 50a,b, 56, 67, 74, 82. Read Chapter Two and do questions/problems page 75 #20-22, 24, 41, 42, 43a,b, 49, 51, 53, 54, 57, 58, 59, 60, 63, 64, 70, 71,82. Read Chapter Three and do questions/problems page 123 #19, 21, 31, 34a, 44a,d, 45, 46, 50, 51,52, 54, 67, 68, 79c,d,e, 80, 83, 84, 92, 100, 109. Study Ion Formula/Charge Sheet – You must memorize the formulas and charges for all ions on this page. There will be a quiz on the first day of school. Within the first week of school we will review and check the work from chapters 1 through 3 and that material will comprise the first test. Students may email me during the summer if questions arise. I may be able to help with brief questions but keep in mind this work is review in nature and I cannot teach via email. I will reply as soon as possible but please realize that I will be out of town at times and may not respond immediately. gee_t@westcler.org Common Monatomic Cations and Anions Cation Name Anion Name H+ Hydrogen F- Fluoride Li+ Lithium Cl- Chloride Na+ Sodium Br- Bromide K+ Potassium I- Iodide Cs+ Cesium O2- Oxide Mg2+ Magnesium S2- Sulfide Ca2+ Calcium N3- Nitride Ba2+ Barium P3- Phosphide Al3+ Aluminum C4- Carbide Common Type II Cations Cation Systematic Name Cation Systematic Name Fe2+ Iron (II) Pb2+ Lead (II) Fe3+ Iron (III) Pb4+ Lead (IV) Cu+ Copper (I) Sn2+ Tin (II) Cu2+ Copper (II) Sn4+ Tin (IV) Co2+ Cobalt (II) Hg2 2+ Mercury (I)* Co3+ Cobalt (III) Hg2+ Mercury (II) Cr3+ Chromium (III) Ni2+ Nickel (II) Mn2+ Manganese (II) Zn2+ Zinc** Au+ Gold (I) Cd2+ Cadmium** Au3+ Gold (III) Ag+ Silver** *Note that mercury(I) ions always occur bound together to form Hg2 2+ ions. **Although these are transition metals they generally form only one type of ion, and a Roman numeral is not used.

What is reading like for you? Is it pleasurable or painful? Discuss types of reading you do in and outside of school. When is reading exciting? When is it difficult? What are some of your reading habits? Have those habits changed over the years? What types of texts make a difference in your life? What specific texts did you specifically like and/or dislike and why? Can you recall sharing books with friends? What contributions have reading made to your life? Is there anything you miss about the way reading is now as compared to what reading was like when you were younger? Paragraph 4: The fourth paragraph explains all the other quirky things about you and your life that I should know. You could tell me your favorite movie, TV show, band, candy, video game, cat’s name, etc. Tell me what you like to do, where you work, about your family, etc. Include anything that your AP English teacher should know to help better get to know you as a student. Paragraph 5: The fifth paragraph explains why you chose to take CCP/ AP English. Identify if you are taking this course for CCP credit or to take the AP English exam in the spring. In your explanation, discuss at least three specific goals that you have for this English course English. Again, please be more specific than “My goal is to get an A.” If receiving an A is your goal, describe it in terms of how you will reach that goal (i.e. My goal is to memorize every book we read in class, thus ensuring high scores on exams which will lead to an “A” in English class). Optional, but highly recommended reading: Before beginning AP English Literature and Composition, it will be helpful for you to have a strong foundation in the study of literature. A couple of books can help you build on this as you start the year: How to Read Like a Professor by Thomas Foster Mythology by Edith Hamilton The following works represent the range of literature suggested to write about on the AP exam open response prompt. See any of the AP teachers for more information about these books, or read the synopsis on a bookstore website or Amazon.com.

You will find APES to be interesting, relevant, and thought provoking. Since AP courses are taught at the college level, you also will find APES to require a consistent, high level of effort on your part. Each week, you should expect a minimum of 5 hours of homework, cumulative vocabulary quizzes and an essay question. Success in APES will depend on your commitment to the class and yourself. Since APES covers a broad range of topics, we need to “hit the ground running.” Consequently, you must review some concepts and content that you previously had so we may move forward. The areas that you need to be up on by the first day of class are the basics of the lithosphere (the solid part of the Earth), the atmosphere and the hydrosphere (the water part of our planet.) Below are the sections of our textbook, Miller Living in the Environment, 16 th edition (Miller LITE), that you need to read and the questions in the book that you need to answer. When answering these questions, you need to write them in the following format: Question number Letter of the answer Write out the answer, including enough of the question so the answer stands alone (i.e., there is enough there for your answer to make sense when you review it.) For Example: Chapter 2 1. A The annual percent change in population of striped bass from 1985-2000 was 7%. There also are two Internet assignments that must be completed over the summer. Completion of this work by the first day of class is required and there will be an open summer assignment quiz on the second day. Completing the summer work will put you in great position to be successful in APES. The only students to ever failed 1 st Quarter did so because they didn’t complete the summer assignments. Be a part of the successful group!

The cost of the AMSCO textbook is included in your AP U.S. History course fee and the book is yours to keep. Students are responsible for completing the following assignments by the first day of class on August 20, 2015. . 1. Read the introduction and Chapters One and Two in AMSCO. 2. At the end of each Chapter is a series of short essay questions. Please complete two essays of your choice from each chapter. 3. Chapter one essays are on pages 19 and 20. 4. Chapter two essays are on pages 43 and 44. Completed essays are due on the first day of class, August 20. Summer Reading Assignment English I Honors Part One - Read the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Part Two (to be done at the same time as Part One) - Using sticky notes or writing on loose-leaf paper, annotate (supply with critical or explanatory notes) the text for the following items: 1. Literary devices (simile, metaphor, allusion, etc) 2. Characterization (sections that help us get to know a character) 3. Interesting/ important events 4. Changes in characters as they mature 5. Examples of themes from the novel: prejudice relationships superstition gender bravery/cowardice education class empathy/sympathy mockingbird 6. Personal comments 7. Questions/ Visualizations/ Evaluations/ Clarifications/ Predictions/ Connections 8. Your favorite lines or paragraphs that seem meaningful to the ideas of the novel Regardless of whether you use post-it notes or loose-leaf paper, you will want to write the chapter number and the page number at the top of each note. (Think of this activity as “talking back to the book.”) If you would like to type notes after you have created them (and label accordingly with chapter numbers and page numbers), that is a welcome alternative. We expect a minimum of 25 post-it notes with comments that reflect the above items. Part Three - Additionally, you should make a note at the end of each chapter summarizing and reflecting on the events of the chapter. Doing so will help you remember what each chapter was about when we are discussing the book in class. Ways you could complete this part of the assignment might be by posting a sticky note at the end of the chapter or writing it on loose-leaf paper. If you would like to type summaries/ reflections (and label accordingly with chapter numbers), that is a welcome alternative. Scoring – Annotations and chapter reflections will be assessed based on thoroughness of notes. Did you annotate for items 1-8 listed above? Did your reflections show that you actually read and understood the novel? Point breakdown: 25 post-it notes (consider the eight items outlined in Part two) = 2 points each = 50 points 31 chapter summaries/ reflections  2 points each = 62 points total TOTAL = 112 POINTS Your summer reading assignment is due on the first day of school. Summer Reading Assignment English II Honors Part One – BUY and read the novel A Separate Peace by John Knowles. Part Two – Type at least 30 annotations (notes) for the following items: 1. Literary devices/ figurative language 2. Characterization (sections that help us get to know a character) 3. Interesting/ important events 4. Changes in characters as they mature 5. Examples/ ideas of themes from the novel 6. Personal comments 7. Questions/ Visualizations/ Evaluations/ Clarifications/ Predictions/ Connections 8. Your favorite lines or paragraphs that seem meaningful to the ideas of the novel Number each note (1 - 30) and include the chapter number and the page number as these should be in chronological order. (Think of this activity as “talking back to the book.”) You may have more than 30 notes. We expect a minimum of 30 notes with comments that reflect the above items (1 – 8). Part Three - Additionally, you should make a note at the end of each chapter summarizing and reflecting on the events of the chapter. Doing so will help you remember what each chapter was about when we are discussing the book in class. (Do not use Spark Notes, Book Rags, etc….) These summarizing / reflective notes should be typed. Scoring – Notes and chapter reflections will be assessed based on thoroughness and thoughtfulness. Did you consider items 1-8 listed above? Did your reflections show that you actually read and understood the novel? Point breakdown:  30 notes (consider the eight items outlined in Part two) = 2 points each = 60 points  13 chapter summaries/ reflections  5 points each = 65 points total  Typed and placed chronologically for ease of understanding  15 points TOTAL = 140 POINTS Your summer reading assignment is due on the first day of school. If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Dohrmann (Dohrmann_m@westcler.org) or Mrs. Schmidt (Schmidt_d@westcler.org).
