Additional materials for the AP teacher....
Here is a list of 90 lectures for a typical AP Chemistry
class. I have used brief descriptions for each lecture
For a much more detailed document review the AP
LectureGuide. This document consists of chapters which
roughly follow the textbook by Brown, Lemay and Bursten. Each
chapter is made up of a list of objectives. Each objective has a
corresponding activity/question/problem students are to do to
learn the concept. Each chapter contains problem sets for the
students to do to learn the material. Information is also
provided as to how many lectures to spend on the material and
what material to cover during each lecture. This document is only
the student version of the lectureguide. The teaching partner's
(AP teacher) version contains answers to every activity and all
the problem sets. The teaching partner's version, along with all
of the student materials and a collection of animations
(Chemistry Animations) are available from;
At Oklahoma State University I teach introductory chemistry.
The following are Web sites for course which cover the same
content covered in an AP chemistry course. Understand these are
two years old and have not been updated recently. I have been
teaching a diiferent sequence lately. However, there are still
useful features of these web site. In particular there are
examinations, problem sets and lecture notes which you may find
useful.
Laboratory materials....
The following experiments are from the laboratory component
of my AP course.
