Methods of Teaching Advanced Chemistry for Novice
AP Chemistry Teachers Series 3
Topic #1 Predicting Reactions
Topic #2 Stoichiometry
Topic # 3 Solids, Liquids, Gases
Topic # 4 Electrochemistry
Presented by
Mark Langella , Veteran AP Chemistry, Honors Chemistry
Instructor and AP Consultant, Mahopac High School, Mahopac, New York
This
four Saturday institute will provide an opportunity for high school AP
Chemistry teachers to observe significant teaching demonstrations, perform
experimental procedures using computer interfaced equipment, and to review with
presenters a variety of topics covered in AP Chemistry. This program is
ideal as a supplement to the summer institutes offered for preparation to teach
Pre -AP or AP chemistry courses.
The
institute will provide information and materials to participating teachers that
will:
 |
enhance
your classroom presentations in many areas of the AP Chemistry program. |
|
encourage
teachers to use methods in their classrooms that involve new demonstration
ideas |
|
expand
the scope of your laboratory activities using computer interfaced equipment. |
|
provide
a forum for discussion and sharing of their materials and ideas.
|
|
refine
your skills in examination preparation |
Topics
to be covered will include:

(each area will include experimental work to support the concepts)
The course surveys the basic structure and content
necessary for an Advanced Placement Chemistry course. Chemistry topics such as
“how-to” problem solving, will be presented along with
special emphasis on the descriptive chemistry of reactions. Class size,
selection of students, textbooks, and labs will also be addressed. Special
attention will be paid to teaching strategies as well as the AP exam and its
grading. Laboratory work, suitable for AP classes, will be incorporated into the
course.
This program is designed for Novice AP Chemistry
Instructors with less than Six Years AP Experience.
