AP Chemistry Summer Assignment 2017 (Dr. Jordan)
I am excited that you decided to take on the challenge that AP Chemistry has to offer. This summer
you will be completing a chemistry review packet and reading Napoleon’s buttons, by Penny Le
Couteur and Jay Burreson. In addition to reading the book, you will complete the attached chapter
summaries and write a reflection on the book, discussing your favorite chapter. These assignments
are due on the first day of class. Go ahead and order the book from your favorite book seller.
AP Chemistry Review Packet
You may check out a textbook for the summer. I encourage you to do so. Just make sure that you
pick it up before the building closes on Friday, as there will be summer construction.
If you took Chem I and did well (which is why you are here), you are encouraged to go ahead and
read chapters 2 and 3 on your own. You do not have to complete the stoichiometry part of the review,
just attempt it and do some of the examples in the book (chapter 3). We will do stoichiometry first
thing in the Fall.
This packet contains review materials that are necessary for your success in this course. It covers
chemical formulas, equation writing and balancing, formula and reaction stoichiometry. Your
chemistry notebook and the textbook are good resources for this review. Collaboration is allowed,
but copying will adversely affect your success on the review test. If you have difficulty, you are more
than welcome to email me, at any point during the summer, at [email protected]
This review packet will be collected the first day of class, followed by a review test given that first
week-ish class. I look forward to seeing you next fall.
Napoleon’s buttons
Reflection
Reflection (2-3 pages typed, minimum 2, 1.5 spacing)
Give a brief overview of your favorite chapter. Why is it your favorite chapter, and how does it tie into
the book, overall chemistry and human existence.
Students in the AP Chemistry will complete the worksheets on the following chapters. For all the
chapters listed, type a 1 page summary of the chemical context of each chapter, why the molecule
is important, chemistry and biology in general, how it has influenced the modern world and your life,
etc…(be creative !)
Read the Introduction for a primer on slightly more complex chemistry and review.
Chapter 2 Ascorbic Acid
Chapter 3 Glucose
Chapter 5 Nitro compounds
Chapter 6 Silk and Nylon
Chapter 7 Phenol
Chapter 13 Morphine, Nicotine and Caffeine
Chapter 15 Salt
Chapter 16 Chlorocarbon Compounds
At the beginning of the school year, you will be assessed (you will have a test) on how well you read
during the material this summer. There is a worksheet for each chapter that will help you prepare.
Each worksheet is identified by chapter and asks the same five questions. To use the worksheet, do
the following:
1.
2.
3.
Read the worksheet questions.
Read the chapter one time.
Read the chapter the second time, filling in the worksheet as you go.
Some Hints:
Science writers do not often put ideas and facts in a nice, orderly sequential pattern. They often skip
around.
The book lists the molecules by name, chemical formula, and sometimes by something called isomer
or isomer form (which is just a different form of the molecule, usually equivalent to a mirror image).
There may be many people mentioned in association with a particular molecule. Just look for the
most important.
Lastly, if you want, read the whole book (There will be extra credit associated with it ). This
book is trying to show the reader that science is more that just a set of dry facts and contrived
lab activities. It is an on-going human historical quest for understanding and progress.
