AP Chemistry Resources

Attention all AP Chemistry teachers! I wanted to let you know about an opportunity to receive 3 free online prep exams designed to give you feedback on your students' preparation for the AP Chemistry Exam. This is part of a research study occurring through the 2020-2021 year.

You don't have to be a Modeler (i.e., a teacher who practices Modeling Instruction) to appreciate the utility of particle diagrams. Many chemistry teachers use models and diagrams to help students describe how matter behaves at the particle level.

With the uncertainty of what the upcoming school year will bring, I have been planning as if my classes were completely online. Even during remote instruction, I want activities to be interactive for my students to allow them to engage with the material.

The 2020 AP Exams were definitely challenging between switching to remote instruction, removing units of instruction, implementing an online exam, and reformatting the exam, among other issues. All these changes led to anxious students and teachers. One of the anxieties that lingered past the exam was how it would be read and scored.

Particulate diagrams are all the rage in chemical education.

As I was preparing to write this blog, I read the Chief Reader Report on Student Responses that was written for the 2019 AP Chemistry Free Response Questions. You can visit this web site to find more information about the AP Chemistry Exam.
