Option A: Children’s Chemistry Book
Choose either photoelectron spectroscopy, spectroscopy and the electromagnetic spectrum, the photoelectric effect, or the Beer - Lambert Law and develop a children’s book teaching young children about that topic. Your target audience should be kindergarten to third grade.
The book needs to include both words and illustrations.
You may use humor which is age appropriate.
Your book must be interesting to kids.
You must have a minimum of 18 graphics in your book and utilize six different colors. This may include drawings, paint, crayons, et. The picture has to help bring out the theme of the story. You will be graded on the quality of your graphic. You may not use any graphic cut and pasted from any source unless it is your own original photography. No graphic may be larger than 4.5 inches in width and height.
Your typing font must be a minimum size. Produce work no smaller than 12 Times New Roman font.
Your document may contain no spelling errors. You will receive a 1 point deduction for each spelling error.
Your book must have an illustrated cover with a “catchy title.”
Your book must be bound in either a report cover or a report binder.
Option B: Just a Formality
Formal ten page minimum paper or thirty-five plus slide Power Point presentation on one of the following topics: photoelectron spectroscopy, spectroscopy and the electromagnetic spectrum, the photoelectric effect, or the Beer - Lambert Law . You may not use over size 32 font in your PowerPoint and it must include at least fifteen cited graphics.
Option C: Video Option
Create a video (5 - 10 minutes in length) that showcases the wonderful world of AP Chemistry. The intent is that this video will be used as a “recruiting” tool for future AP Chemistry students, or to introduce AP Chemistry at a future open house. Creativity and appropriate humor are encouraged, but the video must be firmly founded in the reality that is AP Chemistry.
Create a second video (5 - to - 10 minutes in length) on a class/lab topic from one of the following topics: photoelectron spectroscopy, spectroscopy and the electromagnetic spectrum, the photoelectric effect, or the Beer - Lambert Law. You must provide a written transcript of two or more pages for the second video as well as citations.

In Chemistry, kinetics is the study of the rate at which a chemical reaction occurs. We will be using most of the second quarter in AP Chemistry studying kinetics due to its importance in chemistry and its emphasis on the AP Chemistry exam.
In class, you will sign up for your kinetics topic that you will investigate. You will be producing either a five to ten minute video or a tiktok to instruct your classmates on your topic and so you will want to be as detailed, but simple, as possible.
Kinetics Topics:
Reaction Rate
Introduction to Reaction Mechanisms
Introduction to Rate Law
Reaction Mechanism and Rate Law
Concentration Changes over Time
Steady-State Approximation
Elementary Reactions
Multistep Reaction Energy Profile
Collision Model
Catalysis
Reaction Energy
Create a video or tiktok (5 - to 10 minute in length)over your chosen/assigned topic.. You must provide a written transcript of two or more pages for the video as well as citations.
