How Do Car Engines Work?
Students perform an experiment which simulates what happens inside an internal combustion engine. They explain how the chemical reaction they witnessed is similar to what happens inside the car engine.
Curated OER
Combustion Reactions
Students write a balanced chemical reaction. They articulate how burning fossil fuels increase the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Students incorporate all the environmental risks involved as well.
Curated OER
Floating Candles
Students observe a combustion reaction and deduce the components necessary for the reaction to occur. They also identify and interpret the relationship between pressure, volume, and number of molecules for gasses. Finally, students use...
