6. Expectations
This course is designed as a COLLEGE course!
Expect to work harder than you have in most high school classes
Very rigorous and challenging course, but rewarding
Prepares you for life after Everett High School

7. What former students have said about AP Biology...
Challenging, but worth it!
-Zineb M
If you take the time to study, you’ll do just fine.
-Yasmin F
You will actually learn things in this class.
-Madeleine M
If you don’t keep up, then it’s hard.
-Aliya S
This class was actually an amazing experience for me because I did what I was supposed to do.
My advice to you is...
1. DO YOUR WORK ON TIME!
2. Do NOT wait until the last minute to start your lab reports, notes, or projects.
3. Don’t be afraid to ask questions…
4. Have fun! Enjoy this time because you have no idea how fast it flies by!
-Sandrina D

11. Welcome to AP Chemistry!

12. Why you should take this class
General chemistry is required for:
All health sciences: Medicine, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, dental hygienistry, radiology, veterinary medicine, optometry, physical therapy, occupational therapy
These fields usually require organic & biochemistry, tool
Science fields: biology, chemistry
Just about every type of engineering
Attention, aspiring doctors: 60% of medical school applicants don’t get accepted anywhere. Biology is rarely the subject that ends dreams - chemistry often is. Give yourself an advantage before you get to college
You will learn tons of real-world applications

13. Your summer assignment
Master the following skills:
Naming & formula-writing
“Write the formula of lead (IV) sulfate”
Balancing chemical reactions & predicting products
“Predict the products of the reaction between lead (IV) chloride and ammonium sulfate, then write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction.”
Stoichiometry
“23.0 grams of lead (IV) chloride are mixed with 10.0 grams of ammonium sulfate. Determine the products of the reaction, write a balanced equation, and determine the mass of each product produced.”

14. Your summer assignment (continued)
Use these to master the aforementioned skills:
Readings
“Additional resources”
Practice problems
Complete online check-ins (3) before deadlines specified in handout
If you’re struggling:
