AP Chemistry Review

Starts

Join this series to review AP Chemistry curriculum! We'll start with some fundamental knowledge and then slowly move into the AP curriculum; the goal is to cover all the essential topics in time for the AP Exam in May. We will go in a different unit order than what College Board has posted, but we will still hit all the topics! In addition to going over content, we will talk about methods of studying, helpful resources, and general advice for the class. Every session, we will have time to answer any questions that come up as well. This series will work best if you're currently enrolled in AP Chemistry, but all learners are more than welcome to join! I have earned As in my class and scored a 5 on the AP Exam, and I can't wait to share my knowledge with everyone! It'd be great to have you here! 🧪🥼💟

Intermolecular forces and properties

Starts

Hello! If you are reading this, you may be someone interested in learning more about the following topics in Chemistry: intermolecular forces, properties of solids, solids, liquids, and gasses, ideal gas law, kinetic molecular theory, deviation from ideal gas law, solutions and mixtures, representations of solutions, separation of solutions and mixtures chromatography, solubility, spectroscopy and the electromagnetic spectrum, electronic transitions in spectroscopy, and Beer-Lambert law. These are all the topics that will be covered in our meetings, each being 3 hours long and once a week. Meetings will be held Thursdays at 3:30 P.M. EDT (Eastern Daylight Time). Furthermore, I will also be posting sessions as we go along the way. You only see 2 sessions now because as the series progresses, more sessions will be added according to how the class and I feel concerning moving forward. Once all topics have been fully covered and reviews have been done, I will end the series.

Meetings will be broken up as following:
5 minutes waiting for late learners and icebreakers sometimes

25 minutes reviewing content or material from last session. For the first session, this will be substituted for getting to know the learners better and smoothly transitioning into the main topic of the session

1 hour and 30 minutes discussing problems whether that is through Khan Academy, Quizzizz (now called Wayground), or a mix of both (I tend to use the AP Chemistry quizzes on Khan Academy to guide discussion).

The remaining hour will be used for Q&A, homework assistance, or practice AP Chemistry FRQ’s and MCQ’s relating to atomic structure and properties. For homework assistance, please refrain from sharing any personally identifiable information on the document in question. This includes your school’s name, teacher’s name, your full name, or your school’s address. Documents can be shared via Zoom chat. In addition to this, please comply with all rules pertaining to Schoolhouse.world policy.

While I intend for this series to be for anyone interested in Chemistry, I do use a lot of AP Chemistry material. I highly recommend that everyone who joins has taken Algebra 1. An adequate foundation in algebra and algebraic thinking is necessary for intermolecular forces and properties. AP, IB, or whatever program (or no program) in chemistry is welcomed here.

Background on myself:
-5 on AP Chemistry
-Self studied a majority of Organic Chemistry 1 in the past
-I have been studying Chemistry for about 2 years

AP Chemistry Prep from a 5 scorer (Strategic prep to help you succeed on the AP Exam)

Starts

Each week, we’ll cover topics essential to AP Chemistry with the goal of successfully completing the AP exam in May. These sessions are designed for students who have already taken a high school chemistry course or are currently enrolled in AP Chemistry. We’ll begin by focusing on how to study for the course, the best resources available, and effective, strategic study habits. From there, we’ll work through the AP course units, covering all the essential content in an engaging and intentional way. Once April rolls around, we’ll shift into exam prep mode, using a combination of proven materials and personal strategies I used to help you aim for that 4 or 5. All you’ll need for these sessions is something to write on and with, an AP Classroom account (usually provided by your teacher at the start of the school year), a calculator, and a motivated mindset. Looking forward to having you here! 😊

AP Chemistry Unit 1 AP Style Questions Review

Starts

This series intends to focus on teaching the first unit of AP Chemistry (Atomic Structure and Properties) by diving into AP multiple choice and free response questions.

I scored a 5 on AP Chemistry, and I believe it is significantly important to focus on AP style MCQs and FRQs. It does not just help with the national exam in May, but the rigor of the questions are often more difficult than the basic questions you may be exposed to in lectures or homework.

Atomic Structure and Properties

2nd session

Hello! If you are reading this, you may be someone interested in learning more about the following topics in Chemistry: Moles and molar masses, empirical and molecular formula, percent purity, combustion analysis, mass percent, mixtures, mass spectrometry, electron configuration, periodic trends, and valence electrons and ionic compounds, and PES (photoelectron spectroscopy). These are all the topics that will be covered in our meetings, each being 3 hours long and once a week. Meetings will be held Mondays at 3:30 P.M. EDT (Eastern Daylight Time). Furthermore, I will also be posting sessions as we go along the way. You only see 2 sessions now because as the series progresses, more sessions will be added according to how the class and I feel concerning moving forward. Once all topics have been fully covered and reviews have been done, I will end the series.

While I intend for this series to be for anyone interested in Chemistry, I do use a lot of AP Chemistry material. I highly recommend that everyone who joins has taken Algebra 1 or at minimum has knowledge in SI (International System of units) conversions, manipulating algebraic expressions and equations, using significant figures, using scientific notation and using percentages. This part of Chemistry is a lot less math heavy so feel free to join my series, even if you don’t have a lot of math experience. (Note: However true the math part is, a notoriously difficult topic for people who are new to chemistry is electron configuration… I can testify from my own experience. For this reason, it may also help to have knowledge from a physical science class about electrons in atoms as well.).

-Self studied a majority of Organic Chemistry 1 in the past

🏅Learn Science Olympiad Forensics from a National Competitor!!

3rd session

Welcome! Do you want to participate in a virtual forensics lab? What about learning about why acids like HCl (Hydrochloric Acid) will react with bases specifically? Well then, you're in the right place!

My name is Daniel Chen. I have participated in science olympiad since middle school, and first competed at the national competition as a high school freshman after making it onto my school's varsity team. I made it off of three events, fossils, EV, and forensics! Although I have done well in fossils, I am more passionate and excited about forensics, which is why I am teaching this course!

This workshop will consist of at least 18 total sessions, going into most school years. Each session we will cover a specific topic of forensics, from powders to fibers to fingerprints.

Sessions will be held each week on Tuesdays from 4:30 to 5:30 PM EST. Sessions will typically be held to be about 1 hour long although I will usually be perfectly fine with going over if we need to cover some more material, or if there are questions.

Attendance is all up to you! I understand that school can be very stressful, and the mandatory attendance is not ideal. While it is 100% your choice for how you would like to attend sessions, keep in mind that lacking knowledge in some specific parts can be difficult to keep learning down the course, so I would recommend attending the sessions as much as possible.

Here is a full outline of the list of topics we will cover:
Powders
Plastics
Fibers
Hairs
Chromatography
Mass Spectrometry
Fingerprints
DNA
Glass
Entomology
Blood
Seeds and Pollen
Tracks and Soil
Bullet Striations
Analysis
Cheat sheet making
Test Strategies and Planning

Note that some of the topics may require more than one day to fully teach and understand, and that more sessions will be added as the series commences to accommodate for the following topics.

Of course, this course will be very comprehensive, which is why, as science olympiad also allows, we will be making our very own cheat sheet! A cheat sheet, for those who don't know, is a standard letter size paper filled to the brim with information that science olympiad allows competitors to bring and use on tests! When we make our very own cheat sheet, we will pack it with vasts amount of information; for reference, my cheat sheet is currently about size 3.5-4.

Video recordings of lab demonstrations may also be shown later on in the course.

I hope you enjoy your stay at this Science Olympiad Forensics course, and I wish you the best of luck, detective!

Chemistry Olympiad Summer-Fall Prep

6th session

Hey guys! My name is Dhruhi I'm excited to work with all of you this summer + fall. As a Chemistry Olympiad participant for over 3 years, I noticed that there were few free Chemistry Olympiad Prep Courses that covered questions above the AP chemistry level so I decided to create this course for all of the talented high school and middle school students in the world that are preparing for the Chemistry Olympiad.

That being said this course will be rigorous and an honors chemistry background is required (reading the Zumdahls textbook would be sufficient to take this class).

In the first class, we will take a diagnostic exam so I can survey the group's proficiency in certain topics.
Generally, each week, we will have a learning objective. The session will start with a 10-20 minute lesson on the topic. Based on the scores, we will do 40-50 minutes of targeted group practice (on Khan Academy AP Chemistry Problems, online Chemoly practice, and official Chemistry Olympiad practice test questions).

Throughout the series, I will provide free resources that you can study from including my own notes, tips, online study guides, practice questions etc and always feel free to message me with any chemistry questions :)

Near the end of the series, we will try taking half and then full length practice exams to assess our growth + check the need for additional Q&A sessions.

As a final note, I am happy to take more learners mid-series but they may have to cover some of the previous material independently.

Happy Studying 📖🧪⚛️!
