  Lesson Plan: Introduction to PES Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lesson students will learn how to interpret simple photoelectron spectroscopy spectra by incorporating their knowledge of electron configurations, periodic trends, and Coulomb’s law.

• 

  Exothermic Endothermic | High School

  Lab: Exothermic and Endothermic Lab Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lab, students determine whether mixing two chemicals is endothermic or exothermic. One is a physical change, one is a chemical change.

• 

  Exothermic Endothermic | High School

  Demonstration: Energy Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this demonstration, students will observe the exothermic and endothermic properties of state changes of substances with different freezing and boiling points.

• 

  Exothermic Endothermic | High School

  Activity: Endothermic & Exothermic Reactions Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  Demonstration: Energy in Hot and Cold Packs Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this demonstration, students will observe temperature changes in chemical hot and cold packs and discuss processes of endothermic and exothermic changes. They will also see that common household products can be used to make a hot and cold pack.

• 

  Heat of Combustion | High School

  Activity: Evaluating Fuels Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  Download this activity in which students measure the heats of combustion of four fuels and compare them as potential replacements for gasoline.

• 

  Entropy | High School

  Activity: Entropy Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this activity, students will define entropy and be able to recognize entropy changes in chemical reactions.

• 

  Entropy | High School

  Activity: Connecting States to Entropy Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this activity, students use blocks to model different states of matter and the Kinetic Molecular Theory to understand the concept of entropy. This is a concept mandated by SAT level or AP level high school chemistry class.

• 

  Calorimetry | High School

  Lab: Understanding Specific Heat Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will get a general idea of specific heat by investigating the mixing of two liquids at different temperatures. In one case, the same liquids will be mixed, in another case different liquids will be mixed.

• 

  Calorimetry | High School

  Lab: Cool Science Building and Testing a Model Radiator Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)
