AP Review Project

This will count as one test grade for the semester.

You will be assigned ONE free-response problem from an AP chemistry exam. 

Research your problem BEFORE you present.

Teach the class how to solve the problem following these guidelines:

• Present for 8-10 mins.

• Show every part of the problem.

• Show all work, correctly including units.

• Present from memory (No notes! The question will be projected on the screen.) 

• Have good eye contact .

• Be easy to hear. (Practice beforehand!)

• Interact with the class. Make it fun! Ask questions and elicit responses. *

• Tell us the topic(s) covered by your problem in the beginning of your presentation. 

• Be an active audience member during other presentations 

PRESENTATION TIPS:

• Relax! You know about your topic more than anyone else in the audience. That makes you smarter than them! 

• Practice! Rehearse in an empty room, to no one. Get comfortable with your topic and your words.

• This is an exercise in teaching as well as presenting. Be enthusiastic about what you’re teaching us. Your energy will translate into the audience’s engagement.
