Curated OER
The Heat of Fusion of Ice
High schoolers measure the heat of fusion of ice. In this heat of fusion lesson plan, students use a calorimeter or Styrofoam cup and thermometer to measure the change in temperature of the water in their calorimeter. This allows high...
Curated OER
Thermodynamics
Students investigate energy involved for bonds to form and break. In this thermodynamics lesson plan, students experiment with chemical reactions to observe endothermic and exothermic reactions, they explore entropy and the effects of...
Curated OER
Writing "Thermochemical" Equations
In this thermochemical equations worksheet, students read about and practice writing equations for thermochemical reactions. They also sketch enthalpy diagrams of the equations if applicable.
Curated OER
Energy from Hydrocarbons
In this energy from hydrocarbons worksheet, high schoolers read about endothermic and exothermic reactions and how hydrocarbons release heat as fuels. Students read how to measure heat changes in reactions and practice finding the...
Curated OER
Endothermic and Exothermic Lab
In this endothermic and exothermic reactions learning exercise, high schoolers experiment with water and a salt of choice to determine if heat is absorbed or released in the reaction. Students take the temperature of their solution over...

Endothermic or Exothermic That Is the Question
Young scholars conduct an experiment to determine what happens to heat energy during a chemical reaction. They examine an endothermic reaction by observing a chemical reactions.
