AP chemistry teaching resources are an important member benefit of AACT. Currently we are looking for new and unique ideas related to select AP Topics and Learning Objectives to help grow the AP section of the AACT classroom resource library.
During the months of January and February, we invite teachers to submit an original AP chemistry teaching resource idea that you have designed for publishing in the AACT Classroom Resource Library. During this timeframe, teachers can submit an idea for an AP level activity, demonstration, lab, lesson, or project related to one of the Topics and Learning Objectives listed below:
*Note that submissions must address at least one of the learning objectives listed below, but additional LO’s – either from the list below or from other units/topics – can be incorporated into the resource as well.*
Unit 6: Thermochemistry
- Topic 6.2 Energy Diagrams
- 6.2.A. Represent a chemical or physical transformation with an energy diagram.
- Topic 6.3 Heat Transfer and Thermal Equilibrium
- 6.3.A. Explain the relationship between the transfer of thermal energy and molecular collisions.
- Topic 6.5 Energy of Phase Changes
- 6.5.A. Explain changes in the heat q absorbed or released by a system undergoing a phase transition based on the amount of the substance in moles and the molar enthalpy of the phase transition.
- Topic 6.7 Bond Enthalpies
- 6.7.A. Calculate the enthalpy change of a reaction based on the average bond energies of bonds broken and formed in the reaction.
- Topic 6.8 Enthalpy of Formation
- 6.8.A. Calculate the enthalpy change for a chemical or physical process based on the standard enthalpies of formation.
In the spirit of this opportunity, an "original" teaching resource should be an authentic creation by the participating teacher. For example, it should not be an adaptation from a published source such as a Flinn kit, a published textbook, or the AP Classroom (from the College Board).
Guidelines
- Be an AACT member. Not a member? Join now!
- Submit your teaching idea through the entry form below.
- Be willing and able to put your idea into the AACT template if chosen.
- *Please review the AP Section of the AACT library to confirm that your resource idea is different from others that have already been published.
How to Submit
- Please complete the entry form below.
- You will be required to summarize an original AP level teaching resource idea aimed at teaching one of the Topics and Learning Objectives identified above.
- You may submit more than one entry.
- If selected, you will be asked to put your idea into the AACT template.
- Upon completion of the submission process, you will earn a $200 gift card and your resource will be published in the AACT classroom resource library.
Submission ideas will be reviewed on an ongoing basis, and a select number of teaching resources will be accepted. Any teacher that submits an idea that is accepted will earn a $200 gift card upon completion of the submission process!
