Dear AS Chemistry Student,
In order to have the most positive start and a successful year in AS Chemistry, we need you to review some science that is considered background knowledge for the AS Chemistry student. Please do the following things to help you prepare for an exciting year of chemistry at a fast pace and challenging level.
This summer assignment is mandatory! (You will need to have completed Biology successfully with a teacher recommendation for AS Chemistry and have completed Geometry with a B- and concurrently in Algebra 2 or above next year in order to be enrolled in AS Chemistry – check with your counselor).
1) Pick up Modern Chemistry Holt edition textbook from library -- check library for hours (mabears.org). Library is closed during July. We do not have online textbook access.
2) Get to know your textbook. Please complete textbook scavenger hunt on back side of this sheet.
3) Read the first two chapters(Ch 1 Matter and Change + Ch 2 Measurements and Calculations) of the textbook and take notes, Cornell style(questions in margins-summary at end of each section--each chapter has 3 sections). (notes should be written by hand unless you have special issues that you have discussed with school counselor in advance.) Please do on binder paper. Please make sure notes include basic concept, definition, and specific examples. If notes are regarding a calculation, please include a sample calculation problem. Each chapter should take about 3 pages of notes and should be your reference when doing the review questions.
4) Answer chapter 1 and 2 review questions P.22 #1-26 ALL and P.59-60 #1-46 EVENS on binder paper. Please answer questions in a way that incorporates the question – show work for calculations. All numbers need appropriate units.
BRING #2-4 ON FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! (DO NOT BRING TEXTBOOK!) The summer assignment is your first graded assignment and you will have a test on it MONDAY, AUGUST 19th. You will be able to use your Cornell notes and review questions for certain portions of the test. The information in the first two chapters is a review of previous science concepts and math skills that should have been covered as part of your middle school science and biology classes. You must know the metric system (prefixes kilo-pico) and be comfortable with basic algebra and % problems. Review lessons on dimensional analysis and significant figures are available on Khan Academy. Also please make sure you have the following school supplies to work with on a daily basis: Binder, pen, #2 pencil, ruler, non programmable scientific calculator with exponent (EE or exp) button and Log button, colored pencils.
Thank you so much and have a great summer! We look forward to meeting you in the fall.
