Spectroscopy—Guided-Inquiry Learning Activities for AP® Chemistry

Product Details

Help your students achieve success in AP Chemistry! Updated curriculum requirements recognize that spectroscopy is an indispensable tool in modern chemistry research and analysis. Mass spectrometers, as well as photoelectron, ultraviolet, and infrared spectrophotometers, are amazing—and very expensive—instruments. Specific AP Chemistry learning objectives address the uses of these forms of spectroscopy for measuring the masses of atoms and molecules, determining their electron energy levels, and probing their structures. Use this set of three guided-inquiry learning activities to ensure that your students understand the basic principles of each type of spectroscopy and can apply these principles to derive appropriate information concerning atomic and electron structure. Cooperative, guided-inquiry exercises are proven methods for motivating students and building student mastery of complex topics. These are tailor-made for AP Chemistry! 

Package includes a CD with student handouts for three guided-inquiry learning activities and a comprehensive Teacher’s Guide with answers to all questions, alignment with AP Chemistry essential knowledge, learning objective and science practices.
