Students identify how factors such as temperature, concentration, and surface area can affect the rate of a chemical reaction. They use the collision model to explain changes in chemical reaction rates. Students discuss how a catalyst is a substance that changes the rate of a chemical reaction but is not changed in the reaction. Full Review »

Students identify and discuss enzymes using a series of key words (substrate, enzyme-substrate complex, lock and key, catalyst). Students identify key science concepts, such as cause and effect and predictability, utilizing the processes of science and interpreting data. Students apply simple mathematical concepts when graphing and develop critical and creative thinking skills. Full Review »
