About
Taking AP Chemistry in the Fall and worried about doing well? In this series I will help you to prepare for taking AP Chemistry. We will review basic chemistry topics and begin to cover some of the AP Chemistry topics. Every week we will review some basic chemistry topics and look at how they connect to the AP material. We will do many practice problems as well as looking at past AP exam questions to begin to prepare for the AP Exam and to ensure that you do well in your class!
The topics that we will review mainly cover Unit 1, Unit 2 and Unit 4 in the AP curriculum.
✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
Please try to attend every session as each session will review some basic chemistry topics. However, if you are unable to attend a session do not worry. I will try to post any materials covered and practice problems for each session.

Session 1
Orientation
We will have a quick icebreaker activity and a introduction to the series. We will then complete a quick survey on the topics that you would most like to reivew and what you are most worried about. Then we will look at the structure of the AP Chemistry course and the AP Exam that you will be taking at the end of the year! We will finally begin our review with some basic chemistry topics.
Topics Discussed:
- Chemical vs. Physical Changes
- Classification of Substances
- Introduction to the Atom and Atomic Structure
- How to Use the Periodic Table
