AP Chemistry Interactive Review Activities In keeping with the new framework for AP Chemistry beginning in 2013 - 2014, I am indicating here if the topic to which a review activity relates has been dropped from the curriculum.

It will be identified as excluded (Excluded) to indicate that the College Board has specifically excluded it. I will leave the reviews here, however, in case some of you find them useful. These are not graded assignments. They are intended only as practice of concepts and vocabulary that are essential to your success in this course.

In Washington State, our new Science Standards are based on 3 Cross Cutting Abilities (Systems, Inquiry, & Application) and 3 Domains of Science- Physical Science, Earth/Space Science, and Life Science. I have observed that Systems Thinking is not well understood and not explicitly present in most science instructional materials.

This is unfortunate because a solid understanding of Systems Thinking can be a powerful teaching tool and also helps students make connections as they learn complex science concepts. The good news is that there are a lot of resources for learning about Systems. I have listed some of my favorites below: Dr. NSDL Science Literacy Map for Systems Science for All Americans Online- Chapter 11 Systems Benchmarks Online- Systems Questions to Ask about Systems- a great 1-pager from Project 2061 Washington State’s Science Standards- see how Systems thinking progresses from K-12 My School as a System- middle school lesson from Science NetLinks Cell as a System lesson Like this:

The student will learn that chemicals are not something just found in laboratories.

Our physical environment is composed of chemicals. Our bodies are composed of chemicals. Understanding the principles of chemistry helps us better understand our world. 2.

Saving for a Rainy DayWritten by Susan E. Groh You've been invited to spend the weekend at your cousin's new cabin in the Poconos. She and her husband, having decided to "live simply", have constructed their home far from the beaten path, with an eye to being as energy efficient as possible. They've installed solar cells and collectors for generating electricity and heating their home, but are still trying to decide on the best way to trap and store energy for use at night and on cloudy days.

They had planned to construct a tank containing some substance that can absorb the energy of sunlight, and then use that energy to provide heat for their home. They show you some tables that appeared in the article. Table 1. Table 2. The problem here is that neither your cousin nor her spouse have much of a background in science, and they don't know what to make of the data in these tables, and so can't proceed with their decision making. What advice would you give? Preliminary Questions: TEACHING|chemistry. Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Volume 380, Number 3.

PBL: Riverside's Dilemma. Riverside's DilemmaWritten by Susan E. Groh Part 1. The town of Riverside has a decision to make. Historically a manufacturing center in upstate New York, Riverside has watched its many factories close down over the years, due to changing market interests and other economic factors. The problem is that the original design of the factories calls for the emission of waste streams directly into the nearby river; any major retrofitting of the factories looks, at first glance, to be prohibitively expensive.

The town council has to decide whether to approve the sale of these factories for this intended use; while eager for the chance to revitalize Riverside, they are also very concerned about the potential environmental impact of these industries. You have been hired to help prepare a report on the latter. What will the pH of each waste stream be, based on the company's projected emission data? Part 2. In this report, you should address several issues for the readers: Part 3.

Tutorial on the Use of Significant Figures. All measurements are approximations—no measuring device can give perfect measurements without experimental uncertainty. By convention, a mass measured to 13.2 g is said to have an absolute uncertainty of plus or minus 0.1 g and is said to have been measured to the nearest 0.1 g. In other words, we are somewhat uncertain about that last digit—it could be a "2"; then again, it could be a "1" or a "3".

A mass of 13.20 g indicates an absolute uncertainty of plus or minus 0.01 g. The objectives of this tutorial are: —Explain the concept of signficant figures. —Define rules for deciding the number of significant figures in a measured quantity.
