This course is the first year of a two year course designed to teach college level chemistry concepts. Students will learn concepts in stoichiometry, atomic theory, chemical bonding, energetics, material structure, oxidation-reduction, acids, bases, and organic chemistry. Students will be examined on a cumulative basis throughout the course. In spring of senior year, students will take the IB Standard Level (SL) Chemistry Exam and the Advanced Placement(AP) Chemistry Exam. My goals for students: 1. To appreciate chemistry as “the central science”. 2. Engage in exploration of chemistry related careers. 3. Be well prepared for the IB SL/HL Chemistry Exam and the AP Chemistry Exam. 4. Engage is a rigorous laboratory experience Texts and Publications: Zumdahl and Zumdahl, Chemistry, Sixth Edition, Houghton-Mifflin, 2003 Australian Study Guide, AP Chemistry Cliff Notes, IB Paper Chemistry Data Booklet Outline of Study: Topics Covered First Quarter Chapter 1: Chemical Foundations IB: 1, AP: III.B Chapter 2: Atoms, Molecules, and Ions IB: 1, 2, 4, AP: I.A.1, 2, 3 Chapter 3: Stoichiometry IB: 1, 2, 4, 11, AP: I.A.2,3, B.1.a, C, III.B.3, IV.1, 3 Chapter 4: Types of Chemical Reactions IB: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, AP: I.B.1.a, III.A,B, IV.1 and Solution Stoichiometry Second Quarter Group 4 Projects Chapter 5: Gases IB: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, AP: I.B.1, II.A1, 2 Chapter 6, 16: Thermochemistry, Entropy, IB: 6, 11, 15, AP: III.E, IV.3 & Free Energy Chapter 7: Atomic Structure and Periodicity IB: 2,3,12,13,14,20, AP: I.A, IV.2 Midterm Exam Third Quarter Chapter 7: Atomic Structure and Periodicity IB: 2,3,12,13,14,20, AP: I.A, IV.2 Chapter 8: Bonding: General Concepts IB: 4, 11, AP: I.B Chapter 9: Covalent Bonding: Orbitals IB: 14, 20, AP: 1.B Fourth Quarter Chapter 10: Liquids and Solids IB: 3, 4, 5, 6, 17, AP: I.B, II.B, Chapter 11: Properties of Solutions IB: 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 18, AP: II.C, Final Exam Summer 2007 Chapter 18: The Nucleus: A Chemist’s View IB: 2, 3, 12, 13, AP: I.C Materials: 1 1/2 ” 3 ring binder with dividers notebook paper colored pencils pencils and pens graph paper ruler Lab Fee $10.00 TI-83 or other scientific calculator Optional (but encouraged): Barron’s AP Chemistry Prep Manual Grading Policy: Participation, classwork, and homework assignments will count as 25% of the student’s grade.

This course is the second year of the two year course designed to teach college level chemistry concepts. Students will learn concepts of acids, bases, energetics, reaction kinetics, principles of equilibrium, oxidation-reduction, electrochemistry, and organic chemistry. Human biochemistry and environmental science will be covered. Students will be examined on a cumulative basis throughout the course. In spring of senior year, students will take the IB Standard Level (SL) or Higher Level (HL) Chemistry Exam and the Advanced Placement (AP) Chemistry Exam. My goals for students: 1. To appreciate chemistry as “the central science”. 2. Engage in exploration of chemistry related careers. 3. Be well prepared for the IB Exam and the AP Chemistry Exam. 4.
