Walter Rohr, Retired AP Chemistry Instructor, Vernier Trainer,

Mark Langella, AP Chemistry Instructor, Mahopac High School, Mahopac, NY

This week long workshop will provide an opportunity for high school AP Chemistry teachers to gain insight into the laboratory aspects of an AP Chemistry course. In addition, the instructors will provide a thorough description of the AP exam questions that focus on experimental objectives of AP Chemistry This program will provide an opportunity to share with colleagues laboratory work being performed in AP Chemistry courses.

The major goals of this workshop will be to provide information and materials to the participating teachers that will:

	enhance your laboratory programming for your AP Chemistry program
	encourage teachers to use new laboratory activities in their class
	expand the scope of your laboratory activities using computer interfaced equipment
	provide a forum for discussion and sharing of their materials and ideas

Areas of focus will include:

	Small Scale Volumetric Analysis Labs, Thermo chemistry Experiments and Methods of Using Technology in Laboratory Experiments
	AP Questions based on Laboratory Activities will be reviewed
	Labs performed will include, Beer’s Law, Gas Laws, pKa, Kinetics, Kp, Ksp, Vapor Pressure and Acid/Base Solution Chemistry.

Lesson Outline

Both experienced and novice AP Chemistry teachers can benefit from this program.

A maximum of twenty five teachers will be enrolled in the workshop to provide each of the participants with abundant time and opportunities to interact with the staff.
