Announcements
To all of my amazing, wonderful students. My heart is broken in light of all that has happened. I wish that I had exactly the right words for the moment, but no words can capture what my heart feels. Know that you are all on my mind and I wish you all peace and comfort as you support one another. I am so grateful you are safe. If you have any questions or just need to talk, I'm here. You can email me at thfuller@jeffco.k12.co.us.
With all my heart,
Fuller

Summer Assignment
Welcome to the world of AP Chemistry! I’m really excited that you are taking this class and look forward to helping you discover how chemistry applies to so much of the world you know. There is no assignment for the summer. There is also no required textbook. However, if you would like to purchase a textbook that will help you out with the material that we are covering this year in class, this is the one you should get:
Chemistry: A Molecular Approach by Nivaldo J. Tro, 2nd Edition
ISBN 10: 0-321-65178-2 ISBN 13: 978-0-321-65178-5
I have picked this book and edition because it is fairly easy to find used for very little money (less than $15, try here: https://www.gettextbooks.com/). However, you can get any edition of the book and it will have what you need. Just be sure that you are buying the textbook and not just a solution manual or study guide.
Your course fee will include a copy of the Princeton Review AP Chemistry Study Guide which will be given to you at the beginning of the year.
Have a great summer and I’ll see you in August!
Sincerely,
Fuller
