Discussion, “Exo- or Endo-,” ATE p. 121. If thermic refers to heat, ask students
to infer what exothermic and endothermic mean. Next display a houseplant and
a match. Ask students to guess which object represents an endothermic
reaction. BASIC

QuickLab, “Endo Alert,” PE p. 122. Supply students with a plastic cup half full of
calcium chloride solution, a thermometer, and 1 tsp of baking soda. Have students
follow the steps of the QuickLab to observe an endothermic reaction.
8.1A,
8.2B, 8.2C, 8.4A, 8.10C
Apply, “Fresh Hydrogen Peroxide,” PE p. 123. Students use what they know about
chemical reactions to answer a question about hydrogen peroxide.
Homework
Reinforcement Worksheet, Chapter 5,* “Activation Energy.” This worksheet
challenges students to identify and label parts of diagrams showing endothermic
and exothermic reactions. BASIC
Extend 15 minutes
QuickLab, “Which Is Quicker?” PE p. 124. Supply each student with two clear
plastic cups, warm water, cold water, and two quarter pieces of an effervescent
tablet. Have students follow the steps of the QuickLab to see how the temperature
of water affects the reaction rate.
8.1A, 8.2B, 8.2C, 8.4A
Close 30 minutes
QuickLab, “I’m Crushed!” PE p. 125. Supply each student with two clear plastic
cups, room-temperature water, a sheet of paper, and two quarter pieces of an effervescent tablet. Have students follow the steps of the QuickLab to see how surface
area affects the reaction rate.

content.
8.10C
Alternative Assessment, ATE p. 125. Have students create a pamphlet entitled
“How to Change Reaction Rates.” Encourage them to be creative in describing the
factors that affect reaction rate.
