Description
Are you looking for engaging resources about exothermic and endothermic reactions to beef up your lessons? This resource might just be what you need. It will offer your students the opportunity to:
- read a passage about endothermic and exothermic reaction
- compare and contrast both reactions
- learn common examples of each
- do a simple but effective experiment to solidify their understanding of the concepts.
- apply their knowledge by designing a product that uses either endo or exothermic reaction
- develop creative thinking skills
Whats included in the resource?
- Exothermic & Endothermic Reaction Reading Page
- Post Reading Worksheet
- Experiment 1 and 2 labsheet
- Lab guide
- Mini Cards
- Teacher Guide
- Answer keys.
**See preview to for sample sheets and answer keys**
1. READING PASSAGE:
In this part, students will read key information about heat energy being absorbed or released. They will learn about everyday examples of this phenomenon and how they are applied to the benefit of humans.
After the reading, students will complete a worksheet to evaluate their understanding.
2. ENDOTHERMIC & EXOTHERMIC EXPERIMENT 1&2
Experiment 1: Students will complete an experiment about baking soda and vinegar. They will write down their observations of reaction.
Experiment 2: Students will do a lab about mixing an acid and a magnesium metal and record their observations onto their lab sheets.
3. Endo and ExothermicProduct Design
In this part, students will design and draw a prototype of a product that uses either endothermic or exothermic reactions. They will then explain how their product works and how it benefits people.
4. Mini Cards:
These are optional cards with additional examples of endothermic and exothermic reactions. Students will work in groups to group these cards into endo and exothermic reactions.
I am very confident that this resource will add some excitement and freshness to your heat unit The resource provides opportunities for reading, collaboration, and inquiry whilst saving valuable time for the teacher.
I have included an answer key, a teacher guide, and tips to make the lesson successful.
Thanks and have an amazing class!
