In our next AP Teach meeting, join us to discuss Kinetic Molecular Theory, Maxwell-Boltzmann curves, and why gases deviate from ideal predictions. REGISTER NOW for the October 24th APTeach Session!
Join APTeach to discuss strategies for teaching Unit 1 concepts based on AP Chemistry’s CED. In this session, teachers will share how they uncover and address student misconceptions to improve student scores and deepen student understanding of essential chemistry concepts. REGISTER NOW for the August 22nd APTeach Session!
Join APTeach to discuss chemical bonding concepts and how they connect to several topics in the AP chemistry curriculum, such as intermolecular forces, chemical reactions, and thermochemistry. REGISTER NOW for the September 19th APTeach Session!
Michael Farabaugh outlines mistakes and misconceptions that were encountered during the 2024 AP Reading and offers suggestions for improving performance on the AP Chemistry exam.
APTeach announces partnership with ChemEd X!
This article explores the power of Universal Design for Learning in making chemistry more accessible to all, offering practical examples of activities and assessments. Additionally, it delves into the potential for AI to further enhance differentiation and accessibility.
This short article unpacks recent research on sulfonphthalein behavior in aqueous solutions, shedding light on pH-dependent structures with the hope of equipping educators with up-to-date interpretations of very familiar experimental observations, such as color changes in acid/base titrations.
This study outlines the effect on the colour of anthocyanin-containing solutions when mixed with caffeine. Given the diversity of anthocyanin structures available from other vegetables, fruits or flowers, there is great potential for series of open-ended experiments for students in classes or science clubs to investigate.
This post describes a simple device used to demonstrate and clarify some challenging concepts in thermodynamics at the General Chemistry level.
This initial study outlines the effect on the colour of anthocyanin-containing solutions when mixed with caffeine. Given the diversity of anthocyanin structures available from other vegetables, fruits or flowers, there is great potential for series of open-ended experiments for students in classes or science clubs to investigate.
