AP Chemistry Sample Syllabus 1Syllabus 1029708v1Course DescriptionThis AP Chemistry course is designed to be the equivalent of the general chemistrycourse usually taken during the first year of college. For most students, the courseenables them to undertake, as a freshman, second year work in the chemistry sequenceat their institution or to register in courses in other fields where general chemistry isa prerequisite. This course is structured around the six big ideas articulated in the APChemistry curriculum framework provided by the College Board. [CR2] A special emphasiswill be placed on the seven science practices, which capture important aspects of thework that scientists engage in, with learning objectives that combine content withinquiry and reasoning skills. AP Chemistry is open to all students that have completeda year of chemistry who wish to take part in a rigorous and academically challengingcourse.CR2—The course isstructured around theenduring understandingswithin the big ideasas described in the APChemistry CurriculumFramework.Big Idea 1: Structure of matterBig Idea 2: Properties of matter-characteristics, states, and forces of attractionBig Idea 3: Chemical reactionsBig Idea 4: Rates of chemical reactionsBig Idea 5: ThermodynamicsBig Idea 6: EquilibriumTextbooks and Lab BooksThe College Board.

See lab list provided for lab details. Studentscommunicate and collaborate in lab groups; however, each student writes a laboratory1
AP Chemistry Sample Syllabus 1report in a lab notebook for every lab they perform. A minimum of 25% of student contacttime will be spent doing hands-on laboratory activities. [CR5a]The 10 Parts of a Laboratory Report [CR7]A specific format will be given to the student for each lab. Students must follow thatformat and label all sections very clearly. AP Chemistry lab reports are much longer andmore in depth than the ones completed in the first year chemistry course. Therefore, it isimportant that students don’t procrastinate when doing pre-lab and post-lab work. Latelabs will not be accepted. Labs not completed in class must be done at lunch or before/after school by appointment.Pre-Lab WorkPre-lab work is to be completed and turned in on the day the lab is performed.1. TitleThe title should be descriptive. For example, “pH Titration Lab” is a descriptive titleand “Experiment 5” is not a descriptive title.2. DateThis is the date the student performed the experiment.Syllabus 1029708v1CR5a—Students areprovided the opportunityto engage in investigativelaboratory work integratedthroughout the course fora minimum of 25 percent ofinstructional time.CR7—The course providesopportunities for studentsto develop, record, andmaintain evidence of theirverbal, written, and graphiccommunication skillsthrough laboratory reports,summaries of literature orscientific investigations,and oral, written, andgraphic presentations.3. PurposeA purpose is a statement summarizing the “point” of the lab.4. Procedure OutlineStudents need to write an outline of the procedure. They should use bulletedstatements or outline format to make it easy to read. If a student is doing a guidedinquiry lab, they may be required to write a full procedure that they develop.5. Pre-Lab QuestionsStudents will be given some questions to answer before the lab is done. They willneed to either rewrite the question or incorporate the question in the answer. Theidea here is that when someone (like a college professor) looks at a student’s labnotebook, they should be able to tell what the question was by merely looking attheir lab report. It is important to produce a good record of lab work.6. Data TablesStudents will need to create any data tables or charts necessary for data collection inthe lab.During the Lab7. DataStudents need to record all their data directly in their lab notebook. They are NOT tobe recording data on their separate lab sheet. They need to label all data clearly andalways include proper units of measurement. Students should underline, use capitalletters, or use any device they choose to help organize this section well. They shouldspace things out neatly and clearly.2
AP Chemistry Sample Syllabus 1Syllabus 1029708v1Post-Lab Work8. Calculations and GraphsStudents should show how calculations are carried out. Graphs need to be titled,axes need to be labeled, and units need to be shown on the axis. To receive credit forany graphs, they must be at least ½ page in size.9. ConclusionsThis will vary from lab to lab. Students will usually be given direction as to what towrite, but it is expected that all conclusions will be well thought out and well written.10. Post Lab Error Analysis QuestionsFollow the same procedure as for Pre-Lab Questions.Advanced Placement Chemistry — The Laboratory NotebookA record of lab work is an important document, which will show the quality of the lab workthat students have performed.AP Chemistry Unit OverviewUnit 1: Chemistry FundamentalsClass Periods (52 minutes): 12Homework Sets Assigned: 10Number of Quizzes: 2Number of Exams: 1Topics Covered:1.

Using distancetraveled of each gas by looking at formation of NH4Cl ring, MM of HCl is calculated.Lab: Molar Mass of a Volatile LiquidDescription: Students use the Dumas method for determination of the molar mass of anunknown volatile liquid.Lab: Hess’s Law LabDescription: Students perform a series of reactions and calculate enthalpy, provingHess’s law.Lab: Spectrum and Spectroscopy LabDescription: Students look at a series of emission spectra and determine the identity ofan unknown. They will also receive and analyze IR and mass spectroscopy data.12
