 Our text is Chemistry by Brown & LeMay  I have asked students to leave their textbooks at home.  I have extra books to use in the classroom.

The Ultimate Equations Handbook. We will use this text when learning about reaction predictions. These are an excellent resource for learning and practicing reaction predictions.

Atomic Structure Bonding Reactions Stoichiometry Gases Acids/Bases Equilibrium Kinetics Solutions Organic Topics are taken from the College Board requirements.

 Expectations Students must be self motivated Students will create and maintain a “college level” laboratory notebook Completion of the AP Chemistry exam Students should form study groups to work through problems, review for exams and prepare for the AP exam.

 PRIDE PACT:  Every class has created a PRIDE Pact outlining the agreed classroom expectations and behaviors.  Students and teachers have signed the PRIDE Pact to signify ownership in our classroom community.

 I will give written homework per chapter  Homework (later in the course) will also include sets of reaction predictions.

 60% Assessments  40 % Homework/classwork (including exams, reaction predictions, quizzes, lab reports and homework)

 The HCPSS grading application is called Aspen.  As soon as the Parent Portal is available, parents and students, will be able to access grades and attendance in one location.

 The AP Chemistry exam is the first Monday in May  2012 exam cost was $87.00 (I expect this year’s cost to be similar)  Study Guides:  I like… Barron’s 5 Steps to a 5
