AP Chemistry Summer Assignment
2017
Future AP Chemistry Student,
Welcome to AP Chemistry! In order to ensure the best start for everyone next fall, I have prepared a summer
assignment that reviews basic chemistry concepts that you learned while studying Chemistry. Each of the 6 Big Ideas in
AP Chemistry is represented according to their weight in the course, with specific emphasis on topics which need
mastery before beginning an AP Chemistry course.
The information in this packet will be reviewed, and you will be tested on the material during the first weeks of school.
You are responsible for answering all the questions in this packet, as well as coming in prepared to be tested on this
information. The score you receive on the test will give an indicator as to how much Chemistry you recall from previous
years, as well as how well you are likely to perform in AP Chemistry this school year. A second part to your assignment is
to come in with a prepared lab notebook containing the information given in the rubric included in this packet.
The due date for the Summer Packet (including the prepared lab notebook) is: AUGUST 7, 2017
The Introduction to Chemistry Test will be: AUGUST 11, 2017
It is also important that you realize up front how your performance in this course will be measured. You will be treated
and assessed as if this is a college Chemistry course and will be expected to meet those expectations. Even when absent,
you are expected to keep up with material. This will require you to work on assignments after school, on weekends, and
at times over holidays. If you do not feel you are mature or prepared enough to take on a college Chemistry course, you
may want to think about your course selection for next year. You will be considered a college Chemistry student from
the first day of classes, and expected to have the work ethic of a college Chemistry student.
I am available as a resource throughout the summer for both you and your parents, if you or they have questions or
concerns. You may contact me by email: ([email protected]) this summer, and I will do my best to answer your
questions in a timely manner. There is a page on my website (lhfleming.weebly.com) you can use to contact me as well.
My website will be used as a place for us to communicate throughout the school year. Over the summer, I encourage
you to use all resources out there to help prepare for the upcoming year, but I have included some resources
throughout your summer packet as well.
Finally, I recommend that you spread out the summer assignment. Please do not try to complete it all in the final weeks
of the summer. Chemistry takes time to process and understand, especially at the college level. Trying to cram all this
information into one week will not serve you well during the school year. I would highly recommend that you try to form
a study group you could keep up with through the summer, and the school year to get some help when I am not
available. Getting help from peers is useful, especially with a difficult course like AP Chemistry.
Please sign up for the class Remind to get updates about the course. Text @jchsapchem to 81010.
Have a great summer and make good choices!
Ms. Fleming

You will need the following supplies for AP Chemistry next year, it would be a good idea to go ahead and get these
things now. Keeping yourself organized will help you be successful throughout the year!
 3 ring binder: preferably 1.5”-2”(for AP Chemistry ONLY)
 Composition notebook (for labs-see attached rubric)
 LOTS and LOTS of paper
 Calculator (it needs to do basic math, scientific notation, and logarithms)
Utilize the resources included, as well as outside resources to complete this packet. The packet is weighted to give you a
sample of what you will be expected to understand when coming into class in August. Do not wait until the last minute
to work on this packet; you will be graded on your work. If you lose a part of the packet, you can find one on my
website. If you have any questions about the packet, please let me know and I will try and respond in a timely manner.
Completed work must be submitted by hand on or before AUGUST 7th. Late work will not be accepted without penalty
of only receiving 70% of the credit. You will be required to take the Foundations Exam regardless of if your packet is
turned in, and one week after the exam no more packets will be accepted for credit.
Show work for all the problems. Questions cover topics from general chemistry, which were covered in your Chemistry
course. Use necessary resources, but make sure the work you present is your own. Remember to always use significant
figures in your answers.

Lab Notebook Setup Rubric
You will need a lab notebook for AP Chemistry and it needs to be a composition notebook (not a spiral notebook). You
will do all of your lab work in this notebook.
Make sure you set up your lab notebook according to the following guidelines before the first day of school. These are
due with your AP Chemistry Summer Packet. You will receive a quiz grade (25 points) for having your lab notebook
prepared on the first day.
Please write only on the front side of your pages (reserve the back side for scratch work). You will need to write all
formal lab information (that will be assessed) in blue or black ink ONLY. Each lab will be assessed based on the following
requirements:
 Title
 Purpose
 Prelab Questions
 Materials
 Procedure
 Data/Observations
 Post Lab Discussion
You need a cover page on the first page of your notebook. The cover page should include:
Your name
Lab partner’s name (will be filled out first week of school)
Lab station (will be filled out first week of school)
