Thermodynamics
High schoolers 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...
Curated OER
Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions
Students observe demonstrations of exothermic and endothermic reactions and determine the changes that take place in a chemical reaction. Students observe four demonstrations showing entropy, attraction of molecules due to polarity,...
