1 – 9 of 9 Classroom Resources

• 

  Phase Changes, Molecular Motion, Intermolecular Forces, Heat of Combustion, Temperature, Exothermic & Endothermic | High School

  Lab: Investigating Condensation Mark as Favorite (5 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will explore the phase change of condensation and determine whether this process is endothermic or exothermic. Students will then investigate how water vapor condenses, what effect surrounding temperature has on the rate of condensation, and what is happening to the molecules when they condense.

• 

  Heat of Vaporization , Boiling Point, Intermolecular Forces, Phase Changes, Heating Curve, Heat of Combustion, Temperature, Specific Heat, Observations, Chemical Change, Physical Change | Middle School, High School

  Demonstration: Cooking an Egg in Chemistry Class Mark as Favorite (6 Favorites)

  In this demonstration, students will observe the very high latent heat of vaporization for water by boiling water over a Bunsen burner in a paper cup to cook a boiled egg. The discussion can be extended to incorporate intermolecular forces to explain the unusually high boiling point of water, as well as heat of vaporization and specific heat capacity.

• 

  Exothermic & Endothermic, Temperature, Heat of Combustion, Chemical Change | Middle School

  Lesson Plan: Chemical Volcanoes - A Tale of Two Reactions Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students will use volcanoes as a vehicle to learn about the differences between endothermic and exothermic reactions by completing a hands-on activities and observing a teacher-led demonstration.

• 

  Heat of Combustion, Heat, Exothermic & Endothermic, Combustion, Polymers, Molecular Structure | High School

  Activity: The Internal Combustion Engine Video Questions Mark as Favorite (14 Favorites)

  In this activity, students will watch a video and answer related questions about the mechanical and chemical processed used in the internal combustion engine. Additionally they will learn about reactions and fuel types as well as the history and evolution of the combustion engine.

• 

  Heat of Combustion, Heat, Exothermic & Endothermic, Combustion | Elementary School, Middle School, High School

  Video: The Internal Combustion Engine Video Mark as Favorite (29 Favorites)

  This video investigates both the mechanical and the chemical processes used in the internal combustion engine, as well as the history and evolution of the combustion engine.

• 

  Calorimetry, Law of Conservation of Energy, Combustion, Heat of Combustion, Specific Heat, Heat, Exothermic & Endothermic, Bond Energy, Temperature, Measurements, Accuracy, Dimensional Analysis, Error Analysis | High School

  Lab: How Much Energy is in Your Snack Food? Mark as Favorite (49 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will find the amount of heat energy stored in foods and compare heat calories with food calories.

• 

  Combustion, Heat of Combustion, Stoichiometry, Balancing Equations, Dimensional Analysis, Interdisciplinary, Culminating Project | High School

  Lesson Plan: Redesigning a Car for the Environment Mark as Favorite (26 Favorites)

  Chemland’s city public transportation board has requested the class to help them determine the direction the city should move towards in reducing the carbon footprint. Students will be divided into groups and will come up with proposals of how to reduce the carbon footprint from carbon dioxide released from vehicles. The groups will represent different ways to reduce the carbon footprint via an alternative fuel source or a new technology. They will debate their findings to determine the direction that the city council should move towards to reduce the carbon footprint.

• 

  Classification of Reactions, Combustion, Heat of Combustion, Balancing Equations | High School

  Demonstration: Exploding Pumpkin Mark as Favorite (16 Favorites)

  In this demonstration, students will witness a chemical reaction create an explosion inside of a pumpkin. They will write balanced equations for the reactions that take place and will complete stoichiometry and thermochemistry calculations.

• 

  Specific Heat, Heat of Combustion, Temperature | High School

  Demonstration: Measuring Heat Mark as Favorite (27 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.
