Summer Assignment Directions:

1. Access our class quizlet here AP Chemistry Quizlet

2. Memorize the items listed below, the documents are attached so you can make your own flashcards or use the class quizlet - you will have a quiz on this the first week of school!

• Polaytomic Ions - names, formulas and charges

• Metric system prefixes and meanings

• common ions - formulas and charges

3. Complete the video notes on safety (take the safety quiz until you get a 100%), chemistry equipment, measurements, significant figures, dimensional analysis and Nomenclature with their corresponding assignments/quizzes.

• I will be checking that notes on these topics are completed the first day of class as a homework grade!

Ways to take notes

• Watch the video and take notes by paraphrasing (try to avoid word for word copying) Listen to the video and be intentional about what you write. Does not matter what format you use to take notes, many students prefer Cornell Notes or Outlines. Here are some digital platforms you can use as well. 

  • Revisit the notes by highlighting, underlining, identifying key details

  • Add level 1,2,3 questioning

  • Summarizing and reflecting - answer the essential question or summarize main ideas

  • Applying the learning to practice/quizzes

Notes should look something like this when they are finished: Sample Notes
