The objectives for the Laboratory portion of this course is derived from AP Chemistry book under Guide for the Recommended Laboratory Program. [http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/repository/ap08_chemistry_coursedesc.pdf Click here for copy of file] These objectives are separated out into General Lab Objectives vs. Lab Specific Objectives as stated below.<br> <br> <u><b>General Lab Objectives</b></u><br> Student should be able to:<br> <br> G1. Determine and correctly use the appropriate equipment for a specific function including proper measuring device. <br> G2. Determine the correct procedures for synthesis of compounds, separation of materials, observing/recording phase change, performing titrations, spectrophotometry/colorimetry and gravimetric analysis. <b>These will be covered under Lab Specific Objectives.</b> <br> G3. Determine correct procedures to collect data, analyze the data to come to conclusions and defend those conclusions. <br> <br> <u><b>Lab Specific Objectives</b></u><br> There are 22 suggested laboratories (click here for specific, [[22 Suggested Labs]]) that the AP chemistry exam will cover.<br>For each lab, the student should be able to:<br> S1. Explain the set-up and procedures to complete the lab including drawing any diagrams/apparatus needed. Outline form and non-complete sentence are allowed as long as it does not take away from the explanation.<br> <Br> S2. Be able to explain and perform mathematical calculations with respect to the lab or associated problems or questions.<br> S3. Remember any fact that AP deems relevant in the lab (i.e. colors of solution, smells of gases, etc). <br> <b>The AP has placed great emphasis on laboratory experiences to the point where one of the mandatory question on the AP Chemistry Exam is explaining the set-up, math procedures for one of the 22 suggested labs.</b><br> <br>
