Make Every Day Count! Exam Date:
Thursday, May 6, 2027 @ 12:00pm
Learning Intentions: What will we learn today? Refresh our memory on topics from Chemistry 1 in including moles, mole ratios, balancing chemical equations.
Success Criteria: How will we know if we've learned it? You can accurately convert all aspects of chemistry problems using the mole as the universal conversion unit.
If you did not finish attempt #2 on the quiz yesterday and would like to try again. You must do it in class with your partner during lunch or after school.
Must be completed by 4:00 pm on Wednesday
Since you did this chapter all on your own, you may use any notes you took from the reading but no other resources.
You may take the quiz 2 times. Both scores will be averaged together.
On the AP Exam: The Free Response Questions are 50% of your grade on the final AP Exam. There will be 7 FRQ's and you will have 1 hr and 45 minutes.*
For the AP Chemistry free-response section, aim to spend about 23 minutes on each of the three long questions and 9 minutes on each of the four short questions. Remember that you can use a calculator for the entire section and should plan your time by starting with your strongest questions to maximize points.
Free-response question timing:
Long Questions (3 questions): ~23 minutes each (worth 10 points each)
Short Questions (4 questions): ~9 minutes each (worth 4 points each)
Strategies for managing time:
Look over all questions first: Before starting, take a few minutes to skim all seven questions to decide which one you want to answer first.
Start with your strengths: Tackling your strongest questions first can build momentum and ensure you don't get stuck on a problem you don't know and use up all your time.
Show your work: Always show your calculations and the steps you took to get the answer, as this is required for credit, even if you don't get the final answer correct.
Keep an eye on the clock: Use a timer to keep track of your progress on each question to avoid spending too much time on any single one.
Don't get stuck: If you don't know how to solve a question, don't spend too much time on it. You can always come back to it later, and partial credit is often available for showing your knowledge of the concepts involved
For Today: Write your answers on your own piece of paper.
You will work with your lab partner on this FRQ (in the future you will be doing them alone) but everybody will write our their own answers.
Go to AP Classroom and click on Assignments then Unit 2 FRQ
You may use your AP periodic table, and orange AP Formulas sheet.
Tuesday - Free Response Question Test (FRQ)
Wednesday - Multiple Choice Question Test (MCQ)
Unit 1 includes Chapters 1,2,3 in our book but the Unit Exam is not from your book it is from AP. Check the "Course at a Glance" to see the topics covered in the Unit 1 exam (pink sheet I gave to you).
Log in to AP Classroom
Unit 1 - Each section has AP Daily Videos and Topic Questions. These can be used at any time to help you with AP Chemistry.
Assignments in AP Classroom: I've assigned several practice quizzes, videos and other resources. They have been assigned in AP Classroom but will not be graded. They were assigned to ensure that you have access to all of the resources. The upcoming exam will be on AP Classroom so the questions will be very similar to the Topic Questions that have been assigned. Spend your time where you need the most practice/help.
Do each of the assigned problems and KNOW HOW TO ANSWER similar problems to what you are practicing.
If you don't know how to answer a certain type of question, refer back to your book to learn how to do it.
Help? I will be here every day before and after school and during lunch to help and to answer your questions.

Explain how to use a volumetric flask.
Burette: Watch the entire video and take notes as needed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9mj0lNwfwY
A burette is used for titrations, a process where you drip one solution into another and watch for a reaction (or change in the solution) to start. It is a very important skill that we will use several times in AP Chemistry because it allows you to analyze the unknown concentration of solutions.
Explain how to use a burette.

Assignment Chapter i "introduction". Click for the reading and assigned problems
Examine your Traffic Light Study Guide for Chapter i. Read, Review, and Take Notes on any/all topics that are not "green".
Traffic Light Study Guides will be provided for each chapter in the book. Use them as a pre-assessment of your knowledge and then, prior to the quiz/test, use them as a checklist of understanding and profficiency. They are very useful to keep yourself organized and guide your learning.
Due Tomorrow - Answer the following on a piece of paper after watching the videos:
Serological Pipette: Watch the video and take notes as needed: Watch Intro to Serological Pipette
Explain what a serological pipette is.
Pipette Pump: Watch the video and take notes as needed: Watch Intro to Using a Pipette Pump
Very briefly explain how to use a pipette pump
Volumetric Flask: Watch the entire video and take notes as needed: https://youtu.be/hrvXuX0Ow3s
Explain the importance of using a volumetric flask. (Note: AP requires that you use the most precise instruments available in the lab so it is important to say that you are using a volumetric flask if you write out a lab procedure for an AP Free Response Question).
Explain how to use a volumetric flask.
Burette: Watch the entire video and take notes as needed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9mj0lNwfwY
A burette is used for titrations, a process where you drip one solution into another and watch for a reaction (or change in the solution) to start. It is a very important skill that we will use several times in AP Chemistry because it allows you to analyze the unknown concentration of solutions.
Explain how to use a burette.
Due Thursday (*You can find your copy of this is on my front table and in the online book)
Read and Review any of the topics that are not "green". This is all review from last year so we won't spend more than a few days on these topics.
3-Hole punch it and put it in your binder with the other TLSG's. Keep them for the entire year and use them to review/prepare for quizzes, tests and the final.
Due Thursday (quiz over this material on Thursday)
Read and take notes where needed (Do Not Skip the Reading Part!)
Complete all of the practice problems listed below on your own paper. This is meant to be a review of material from Chemistry 1.
Read/Notes pg 58 Classifying Material Properties
Practice Problems Pg 60 Quick Check (all)
Read/Notes pg 60 Kinetic Energy and Thermal Energy, Temperature, and Heat
Practice Problems Pg 61 Quick Check (all)

By joining this class you are entering an elite club with only a handful of members. When you tell friends, family and the community that you are taking AP Chemsitry, take a note of the look on their face - they know you are different; that you are special. Many of them will tell you that you are "crazy" - and your reply should be "Thank You! I AM crazy - crazy enough to change the world!"
Here's to the crazy ones.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them,
glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
While some may see them as the crazy ones,
we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think
they can change the world, are the ones who do.
~Apple 1997
