 * AP Chemistry 2014-2015 **

The following video lectures may help you understand the material in the Summer Work packet. You are not required to view any of them - these are only to help you with the material if you need it. Choose the lecture set that works best for you; they are not arranged in any particular order. //**On iTunes U, search for:**//
 * "** CHEM 107 **"; these lectures are from ** Texas A&M Universtiy **. Lectures 1 - 25 should guide you through Chapters 1 - 4 & 10 of the text.
 * "** General Chemistry **"; these lectures from ** Ohio State University ** follow the textbook sections.
 * "** General Chemistry I **"; these are short lectures and notes from the ** Saylor Foundation **. The lectures of interest are 12, 15, 19. 21, 23-28, 36, 44-46, 50-52, 56-59, 61, 62, 69, and 70.

HFA Library AP Chem sites
 * Ms. Smithfield ** located a number of very good AP Chemistry sites for you to use as well. Check them out.

 * ** There are new presentations on Common Ion Effect and Buffers from Chapter 17. **


 * For Metro AP Chem Teachers:**

Here are some resources that I have used over the past couple of years. I have divided them into sections by the type of resource: practice assessments, labs, POGILs, and presentations. I have also tried to include some explanation for some of these materials. If it is unclear what the resources are or how to use them, please send me an email for clarification. Thank you in advance for your understanding and forbearance in trying to deal with these materials.

Here are two practice assessments with answers.
 * Practice Assessments:**
 * Questions and answers from the 2009 Chem Olympiad Multiple Choice test -


 * Practice Test for conceptual understanding -

Here are two sets of inquiry labs I picked up at one of my many AP trainings.
 * Labs:**


 * Set 1 -


 * Set 2 -

**POGILs:**
What is POGIL? POGIL is an acronym for Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning. POGIL originated in college chemistry departments in 1994; there are now well over 1000 implementers in a wide range of disciplines in high schools and colleges around the country. POGIL uses guided inquiry – a learning cycle of exploration, concept invention and application – as the basis for many of the carefully designed materials that students use to guide them to construct new knowledge. POGIL is a student-centered strategy; students work in small groups with individual roles to ensure that all students are fully engaged in the learning process. POGIL activities focus on core concepts and encourage a deep understanding of the course material while developing higher-order thinking skills. POGIL develops process skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, and communication through cooperation and reflection, helping students become lifelong learners and preparing them to be more competitive in a global market.

That description is from []. This site is the POGIL "home page" and has a lot information about using them. It also has many sample POGILs especially for chemistry. However, most of the POGIL's below result from Google searches.

These are also good with Honors Chemistry classes.

These are a mix of materials I have taken off the web, off discs, and some stuff that I have generated myself. Look at it and use as you wish, just give credit where credit is given. Thanks.


 * Nomenclature


 * Buffers


 * Electrochemistry


 * Gas Laws


 * Molecular Formula


 * Solubility


 * Solutions


 * Thermochemistry and Thermodynamics


 * POGIL-like ALE's (Active Learning Exercises)

These are all Power Point presentations, but most (all?) of them were built using MS Office for the Mac - this means that there //__**MAY**__// be some formatting issues when they are used with PC's. Good Luck.
