(each area will include experimental work to support the concepts)
The course surveys the basic structure and content
necessary for an Advanced Placement Chemistry course. Chemistry topics such as
“how-to” problem solving, Acid and Base Chemistry will be presented along with
special emphasis on the descriptive chemistry of reactions. Class size,
selection of students, textbooks, and labs will also be addressed. Special
attention will be paid to teaching strategies as well as the AP exam and its
grading. Laboratory work, suitable for AP classes, will be incorporated into the
course. Participants will receive examples of past AP exams, appropriate tests,
worksheets, and lab experiments.
This program is designed for Novice AP Chemistry
Instructors with less than Six Years AP Experience.
