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 measure the speed of moving marbles and use the results to calculate velocity and momentum. Students use multi-part experiments with marbles to calculate velocity, momentums, and theoretical collision momentum. They use their tools of velocity and momentum to analyze events preceding a Japanese train crash. Full Review »
