Science Plan

Endothermic and Exothermic reactions
Science-Chemistry -- Standard 4 Objective 2
This would be used in 5th or 6th grade

Pedagogy-
I will be observing the students as they are the main ones doing the experiment. I will help them with vocabulary as we go and asking them questions about what they think is going to happen and if they are able to classify the reactions as endothermic or exothermic. I will then have them make a table that tells the kinds of reactions that are endothermic or exothermic. They will be able to also make graphs of the temperatures of each of the reactions as they take place. Then I would like them to look at the data that they have created and tell me about it in a written paragraph.

Technology-
I will be using the temperature probes and the probes will be in the reactants before the reaction starts and as it progresses so that the students can see whether it is getting cooler or warmer. They will also be able to see how long it takes to get to the temperature that it finishes at. I will be projecting the screen so that the whole class can see it at once.
