Advanced Placement®

What is Advanced Placement^® or AP^®?

The College Board® offers an Advanced Placement® program which is a collaborative effort among motivated students, dedicated teachers, committed high schools, colleges, and universities. Since its inception in 1955, the AP program has allowed students to take college-level courses and exams and to earn college credit and/or placement while still in high school.

If you are interested in taking AP courses, talk to an AP teacher or your counselor about the course you want to take. Discuss the course's workload and any preparation you may need.

Find out more about the Advanced Placement program on the College Board website at www.collegeboard.org.

To the AP chemistry class of 2005-26:

Welcome to AP Chemistry This classroom is specific design to update and inform everyone about the summer assignments in preparation for AP chemistry. The mandatory summer assignments are due on the second day of school. This is not an extra credit assignment. The classroom link is provided below

https://classroom.google.com/c/Njg3NzY3MjE0NVpa?cjc=zr7agpd

The google classroom has included a PDF link for the textbook and the 3 assignments

•Formula worksheets

Print out the forms and write the answers in the blanks. Most of the ions were learned in first year chemistry or can be deduced by the fact that elements in the same group react similarly. If all else fails, you can look them up on the internet. You are expected to know all of these ions.

•Problems

Use your own paper to solve these problems. Show all work, and use significant figures correctly. Most of these problems are idea and concepts covered in honors chemistry. There will be a quiz on the
summer assignments on the 8/21/2025

•Outline chap 1-2

Enclosed is an outline for chap 1-2. The outline should be completed on the first week of class with the sample questions. The answers to the questions to the text can be found in the end of the book. The google classroom has a copy of the textbook on-line. I know some of the material in chap 1 is similar to the problem set. There will be a quiz on this on 8/26/2025 (For Chap 1-2)

Have a relaxing summer and come back ready to work. If you have any questions, contact me at
