Summer Institute – Chemistry Course Description Western Kentucky University  \nJune 22 – June 26, 2015  \nThe AP Summer Institute in chemistry will focus on techniques for introducing and reinforcing the“Big Ideas” ofthe AP chemistry curriculum framework, emphasizing connections between atomic/particulate level descriptions of model systems and macroscopic properties and chemical reactions. The updated AP chemistry curriculum framework will be examined, with emphasis on content that has been introduced and updated (photoelectron spectroscopy, hybridization, molecular orbital formalism) . Content that has been reduced in scope or eliminated will be noted.  \nElectrons and electron transfer will be the broad focus of this year’s institute. Significant time will be devoted to important topics that go beyond the standard treatment in the introductory chemistry curriculum – the role (and meaning) of charge, atomic structure and periodicity, chemical bonding, intermolecular forces and their manifestation,, and electrochemistry.  \nAppropriate for new and experienced teachers, extensive laboratory work that focuses on the expectation of student inquiry will be performed. Connections among the Big Ideas, and the importance of building models to describe chemical phenomena will be explored. Additional, participants who are new to the AP chemistry course will be guided in syllabus development and will begin the process of preparing the course audit, as required by the college board.  \nTopics will include the following:  \n• An introduction to the redesigned AP Chemistry Syllabus  \n• Prior knowledge and Pre-AP Chemistry  \n• Resources for AP Chemistry  \n• Electrons, charge, and fundamental electrostatics  \n• Quantum (well, almost) models of the atom – periodicity and atomic structure  \n• Forces between atoms – bonding and intermolecular forces  \n• Oxidation/Reduction reactions and electron transfer  \n• Thermodynamics and Electrochemistry, work in chemical reactions  \nWhat participants should bring:  \n• AP Chemistry Textbook  \n• Scientific calculator and lab safety glasses. Participants should be prepared with laboratory appropriate clothing (i.e. closed toe shoes) .  \n• Notes and laboratory exercises are provided for participants  \nIn addition, participants will find it convenient to bring a laptop computer or iPad equipped with a spreadsheet utility and capable of accessing on-line resources.  \nConsultant  \nAfter teaching AP Chemistry, Physics, and Calculus at independent schools in North Carolina, California, and Kentucky, Lew Acampora is currently the living in Louisville and acts as the statewide (KY) Science Content Director for the National Math and Science Initiative. Mr. Acampora has been involved in the AP Chemistry reading for 18 years, first as a reader, table leader, and most recently as a question leader. He has written questions for the AP Chemistry test, and has served on the PRAXIS test development committee. Mr. Acampora graduated with a B.A. in chemistry from Harvard University, and has done graduate work in chemistry at Brandeis University and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.  \nMONDAY MORNING  \nIntroduction to AP Chemistry  \n• AP Chemistry Syllabus and Redesign  \no Why the redesign  \no What’s new?
