Anchoring Phenomenon: reusable heating packs
Conservation of mass:
In a chemical reaction mass is neither created nor destroyed (HS-PS1-7) Lesson 1
Phenomenon: students will investigate a reaction in a bag to see how mass is conserved
Concepts:
Mass is conserved in chemical reactions
Skills:
Balancing simple equations
Calculating Molar Masses
Molar conversions
Calculating amount of product based off of the amount of reactants
Products:
Initial prediction regarding conservation of mass based on lesson level phenomenon
Balanced equations
Molar conversions of mass of reactants to mass of products and explanation of how these calculations show that mass is conserved within a reaction
Stoichiometry- HS PS1-7 Lesson 2
4) Students design an investigation that uses stoichiometry to determine the identity of an unknown (sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate)
Product: Students prepare a lab report with a CER on which substance they have and how they know
3) Stoichiometry lecture and additional practice
Product: Stoichometry POGIL
2) Skill: Chemical reaction balancing activity (PHET)
1) LLP- One time heat packs
Lesson 3 - Forces between particles and bulk level properties of matter
Lesson Level Phenomenon: evaporation rate of acetone vs water
Product: initial explanation of why they differ
Concept: Phase diagrams, polar/non-polar liquids and intermolecular forces
Skill: identifying areas and boundaries on phase diagram, explaining higher and lower boiling points
Product: Produce phase diagram of a
mystery substance given certain information
HS-PS1-3. Plan and conduct an investigation to gather evidence to compare the structure of
substances at the bulk scale to infer the strength of electrical forces between
particles
Reactions produce a specific
amount of heat based on the
energy state of the reactants and
products and the quantity that
undergoes reaction. HS-PS1-4
Lesson 4
Students design an investigation to measure
heat produced or absorbed by a
reaction
Students prepare a Lab Report with CER regarding
relative heats of reactions
Products:
Students update model to include the bonds that are breaking and forming and the change of potential energy to kinetic energy/heat
Students update model to show how the heat is formed from the changing bond energies and the movement of energy between system and surroundings
Skills:
Ability to identify the system and surrounding
Identification of bonds broken and bonds formed
Calculation of bond energies in a molecule and the change of bond energies in products and reactants
Identification of system and surroundings
Concepts:
A stable molecule has less energy than the same set of atoms separately
Energy must be put into a molecule to break its bonds
The change in bond energies in a chemical reaction is equal but opposite to the change in kinetic energy
Energy is transferred between system and surrounds
Phenomenon: Hindenburg Disaster
Apply scientific principles and evidence to provide an explanation about the effects of changing the temperature or concentration of the reacting particles on the rate at which a reaction occurs. HS-PS1-5
Lesson 5
Phenomenon: glow sticks in water
Concepts:
Changing factors such as temperature or concentration changes the rate at which a reaction occurs
When molecules collide bonds break and atoms rearrange
Skills:
Students can identify how changing different conditions changes the rate of a reaction
Students can predict if a reaction will occur based off of the kinetic energy of molecules and the bond energies
Products:
Students design lab to investigate the effect of changing temperature/concentration/other factors on reaction rate
Students design lab to investigate the effect of changing temperature/concentration/other factors on reaction rate
Students design lab to investigate the effect of changing temperature/concentration/other factors on reaction rate
CER: students write a CER explaining why each of the conditions that they changed in their reaction had the effect that they observed
Final Model of the Anchoring Phenomenon
Fully articulated reaction equation
Identify Reaction type
Reaction model indicating exo/endothermic
Equilibrium and effect of temperature (why does boiling
water reset the reaction?)
Model should correctly identify the system and surroundings
