Honors/Gifted Chemistry

Monday

Standard(s): SC5a. Plan and carry out an investigation to calculate the amount of heat absorbed or released by chemical or physical processes. (Clarification statement: Calculation of the enthalpy, heat change, and Hess’s Law are addressed in this element.)

LT: We are learning how to calculate the amount of heat absorbed or released by chemical or physical processes.

SC: 

• I can define enthalpy, heat change (endo- and exothermic reactions) and Hess's Law.

• I can differentiate between an endo- and exothermic process in an experiment. 

• I can calculate enthalpy during a physical or chemical or physical process.

• I can explain how heat is absorbed or released by the type of enthalpy change. 

Lesson/Activity:

• Return notebooks from Friday’s collection.

• Get Chromebooks and take notes on “Enthalpy” (Slides 1, 3-11)

• Go over Slide 11 together as a class. 

• Flocabulary - finish Flocabulary #7 due tonight or start Flocabulary #8 due next Monday, March 24th.

• C.S.I. video clip - physical and chemical properties and changes to solve the investigation (15 minutes)

• HW: Work on notebooks, Flocabulary #7 due on 3/17 (due tonight by 11:59 p.m., Flocabulary #8 due next Monday, March 24th by 11:59 p.m., and finish any missing work, labs, etc. from absences, doctor appointments, or SSAs.

Resources: 

• Modern Chemistry by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston

• Promethean Board, PowerPoint, Google Classroom, and worksheet with PE Diagram for Enthalpy, Activation Energy, and the use of a catalyst.
