Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

What happens when chemical bonds break and form? Science scholars explore the movement of energy in a chemical system by watching a well-rounded video. The narrators illustrate exothermic and endothermic reactions in terms of temperature changes that occur and use diagrams that show changes in energy.
