This is the summer work for Mr. Finnegan's AP Chemistry class. It is likely most of you have never taken a general chemistry class, so the basics of chemistry is something you likely don't know yet. We get into AP content almost immediately, and this summer work is to make sure you have a decent grasp of the basics on day one. It is a 3 part assignment and will take a decent amount of time to complete. However, this will give you crucial chemistry knowledge that you will use all year and make it so we do not have to spend so much time on chemistry basics. Remember, these ARE a grade for first quarter.
Assignment #1: Review of Chemistry Videos and notes.
Youtube link to videos. The presenter goes over the entire set of notes and answers sample problems. Watch all of them (there are 9 parts and a Mass Spec overview) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ll_7GOfpUGA&list=PLspSUFzCn8vRovC_UbeG83AJLpMmW05qY
Assignment #2: Conversion practice and Basics of Atomic Structure.
Conversion practice and Atomic Structure
Assignment #3: Review lab safety and take the test. Normally this is done during the first week, but to save time, take it over break and bring it on day one.
