This is an inquiry based electrochemistry lab for AP Chemistry (Unit 9). The students do some initial research about electrochemical cells and make a prediction about which electrochemical cell built from the available materials will have the
This is a lab practical intended to be used as a summative assessment for an AP Chemistry or college level chemistry course. Students must determine an appropriate experimental method to find the percent mass of calcium carbonate in a sample (either
This is a lab practical intended to be used as a summative assessment for an AP Chemistry or college level chemistry course. Students must determine an appropriate experimental method to find the molar mass of an unknown monoprotic acid. Students
This is a worksheet, spreadsheet, and teacher guide for AP Chemistry standard 9.1 Intro to Entropy. Students use the statistical definition of entropy as the number of microstates that correspond to a particular macrostate. Students use several
This is a calorimetry lab designed for a first year high school chemistry class. The students use a simple coffee cup calorimeter to find the heat change of a dissolving antacid tablet and to calculate the specific heat of pennies. Students should
Guided and scaffolded notes on doing calculations with heat and calorimetry using q = mcΔT. Includes student notesheet, teacher slideshow, and a handwritten teacher key to the notesheet (linked at the top right hand corner of the student notesheet).
Students use the Molecules and Light PhET simulation to investigate how different kinds of electromagnetic radiation (microwave, infrared, visible, ultraviolet) interact with different molecules. Then, the students draw conclusions about how these
This is a guided inquiry investigation for AP Chemistry standard 5.5 Collision Model and Reaction Rates. Students use a PhET simulation (Reactions & Rates) to investigate how reactions occur on the particle level. Through this investigation,
This is the teacher guide that accompanies a guided inquiry investigation for AP Chemistry standard 9.1 Intro to Entropy. Students use the statistical definition of entropy as the number of microstates that correspond to a particular macrostate.
This is a guided inquiry investigation for AP Chemistry standard 9.1 Intro to Entropy. Students use the statistical definition of entropy as the number of microstates that correspond to a particular macrostate. Students use several different
Guided and scaffolded notes to introduce students to heat and calorimetry calculations using the equation q = mcΔT. Starts with a conceptual review of heat and temperature, and then includes multiple practice problems. The practice problems are
This is an activity designed to be done after students have learned about Lewis structures and predicting molecular shapes (VSEPR). The students draw Lewis structures, predict the electron geometry, molecular shape, and bond angle. Then, the
This is an activity which uses the Molecular Shapes PhET simulation to investigate the relationship between Lewis structures and the 3D shapes of molecules. Students start by drawing Lewis structures. Then, they use the PhET simulation to visualize
This is a jigsaw reading activity about different kinds of electromagnetic radiation (radio waves, microwaves, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, and gamma rays). The students read an article with a group and answer questions about it. Then, students
This is a simulation/game where students model the energy changes associated with a phase change. The students model molecules of water with corn kernels (or other small game pieces) and model energy using pennies (or other currency of choice). The
This is a guided-inquiry activity where students draw patterns in Lewis structures, notice patterns, and draw conclusions from them. This activity assumes that students have previous experience with drawing Lewis structures. Its purpose to connect
Slideshow which goes with guided and scaffolded notes to introduce students to heat and calorimetry calculations using the equation q = mcΔT. Starts with a conceptual review of heat and temperature, and then includes multiple practice problems.
