  Demonstration: What is Temperature? Mark as Favorite (62 Favorites)

  In this demonstration, students will observe food dye mixing with water at different temperatures.

• 

  Heat, Temperature, Exothermic & Endothermic | Middle School, High School

  Lab: Energy Transfer Investigation Mark as Favorite (29 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will experience several examples of energy transfer. They will analyze their observations and interpret their results in an attempt to explain why each transfer took place.

• 

  Specific Heat, Heat of Combustion, Temperature | High School

  Demonstration: Measuring Heat Mark as Favorite (31 Favorites)

  In this demonstration students will observe what happens to the temperature of water when different volumes of hot water are added and also when copper, the same temperature as the hot water is added.

• 

  Specific Heat, Heat, Temperature | High School

  Demonstration: Dramatic Demonstration of Thermal Conductivity and Specific Heat Capacity Mark as Favorite (49 Favorites)

  In this demonstration, students will observe the high thermal conductivity and low heat capacity of copper metal.

• 

  Conservation of Mass, Exothermic & Endothermic, Chemical Change, Heat, Temperature, Observations, Chemical Change | High School, Middle School

  Lab: Kitchen Reaction Mark as Favorite (18 Favorites)

  In this lab students will observe an endothermic chemical reaction involving baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and vinegar (acetic acid). Students will investigate the signs a chemical reaction has occurred (gas production, change in temperature). Students will perform the lab in an open system so they can see the change of mass due to gas production. This lab is a lead into the topic of conservation of mass. After the lab is completed, the teacher should do a demonstration of the exothermic reaction Hydrogen peroxide and potassium iodide.

• 

  Phase Changes, Sublimation, Physical Change, Density, Observations, Temperature | Middle School

  Lesson Plan: Dry Ice Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students will investigate how dry ice undergoes a phase change from solid to gas, skipping the liquid phase under normal temperature and pressure.

• 

  Exothermic & Endothermic, Energy Diagrams, Heat, Temperature, Chemical Change | High School

  Lab: Exothermic and Endothermic Lab Mark as Favorite (56 Favorites)

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

• 

  Phase Changes, Physical Change, Observations, Temperature | Elementary School, Middle School

  Lab: Condensation Mark as Favorite (2 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will explore the process of condensation. Students will investigate how water vapor condenses, and then they will conduct a comparison test to see if cooling water vapor has an effect on the rate of condensation.

• 

  Kinetic Molecular Theory, Temperature, Heat, Temperature | Middle School, High School

  Lab: Mega Marshmallows Mark as Favorite (46 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will investigate the Kinetic Molecular Theory and particle motion while experimenting with a marshmallow. Students will observe how an increase in kinetic energy will cause particles to increase in motion. This concept will be extended into a discussion about additional real world thermal expansion examples.
