Project Zero THINKING ROUTINE
Phenomenon--
-how can you explain the energy produced ?
What do you know before you see this source?
Thermite reaction with cannonballs Washington International School Science
How does it add to your knowledge?
What do you still need to know?
Cannonball chemistry explained WIS Science
Energy in reactions:
Exothermic and endothermic
Energy-level diagrams
Bond breaking/bond making
Hess's Law
Calorimetry
​
HS PS1-4 Energy:
Develop a model to illustrate that the release or absorption of energy from a chemical reaction system
depends upon the changes in total bond energy.
