In this unit, students explore several phenomena that relate to cooking. In this lesson, students evaluate chemical reactions, and use that knowledge to engineer a prototype that transfers energy by chemical processes. This page showcases key components of this lesson.
In this unit, students build on their knowledge of energy by exploring the relationship between energy and matter. In this lesson students conduct an investigation into the science phenomenon of how energy is transferred in an endothermic reaction. This page provides an overview of this lesson.
In this unit, students are introduced to matter and energy as they learn about how scientists and engineers design materials with specific properties to address a wide range of societal needs. They focus on the basic structure of matter, and how energy changes matter in physical and chemical changes. In this lesson, students focus on the role of energy in changing matter during a chemical reaction phenomena between two substances. This page provides an overview extract of this lesson.
