This page contains information for the workshop participants and gives us a place to add updated materials as they are collected. Check this area for updated information.

Outcomes...

Participants come away from this workshop with a new network of colleagues.
Participants have a notebook with over 338 pages of teaching ideas, lab, labettes, demonstrations, jokes, songs, and other teaching materials.
Participants have a list of 25 high priority ideas to incorporate into their teaching.
Participants have at least a rough-draft of how to lay out the year of content.
Participants have an appreciation for the AP grading process.
Participants have an open invitation to email Paul Groves with any questions, ideas, and concerns about their teaching.
Participants have an awareness of useful products that are available to aid in the teaching of both first-year and AP Chemistry.
Participants have an appreciation for the fact that all teachers teach with a collection of ideas they have developed, modified, or just plain borrowed from other teachers before them.
Participants received 3 or 4 AP Chemistry textbooks.

	*Shared Materials* Some review materials are saved as Adobe Acrobat® files. This area will grow as participants send me material to share... such as Sethi's Oxidation of Alcohol with KMnO₄ demonstration, Bennie's Kinetics Lab, etc.
		Go to the Adobe Acrobat® website for a free software download if you do not have the plug-in. The initial download time may vary, but after that you'll be able to view and print all of these study materials quickly and easily. Fuzzy printout? Make sure you're using the print command that appears on the Adobe® menu bar just above the form. Do not print from your browser.

Michael's Le Chatelier's Lab (Acrobat)

Warning!
Mike Rettig wrote to me to warn us NOT to heat the lightstick in the microwave. Later in the same day as our visit, he was heating another lightstick to show a colleague the demonstration, it exploded, and while they were able to clean SOME of the glowing material from the microwave, some of it got behind the little screen and he ended up buying the department a new microwave.
