Thermochemistry & Heat of Reaction Project-Based Learning Activity | Chemistry | Grades 9–12

Thermochemistry & Heat of Reaction Project-Based Learning Activity is a project-based learning activity for high school Chemistry (grades 9–12) on Thermochemistry & Heat of Reaction.

Pairs with: Thermochemistry & Heat of Reaction Slide Show Presentation; Thermochemistry & Heat of Reaction Guided Notes; Thermochemistry & Heat of Reaction Lesson Quiz; Thermochemistry & Heat of Reaction Vocabulary Words & Definitions.

Sections: Chemistry Project Based Learning Activities • Chapter 17; Chemistry Project Based Learning • Chapter 17; Project Station #1; Technical Vocabulary Matching; Learning Objective & STEM Challenge Target; Investigation Protocol & Directions; Station 1: Technical Vocabulary Term Cards (cut Out); Term #1. Sample item: “Why do rocket engineers operate Methalox engines at a fuel-rich O/F ratio (3.55:1) rather than the stoichiometric ratio (4.0:1)?”

What's inside: Project Based Learning Activity (editable .pptx + PDF, 30 slides); answer key / model answers for the teacher.

Standards: HS-PS1-4 — 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. HS-PS3-4 — Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that the transfer of thermal energy when two components of different temperature are combined within a closed system results in a more uniform energy distribution among the components in the system.

Resource type: Project-Based Learning Activity. Format: editable Microsoft PowerPoint file plus a ready-to-print PDF.

Classroom use: Students work through the project stations over several class periods, ending with a product they present. Built for high school Chemistry, grades 9–12.

Format note: These files are delivered in Microsoft Office formats (Word and/or PowerPoint). If you open a worksheet that includes tables in Apple Pages or another non-Microsoft app, table formatting may not display correctly. For best results, use Microsoft Word or PowerPoint (or upload the file to Google Docs). If you run into any formatting issues, contact us and we can send a PDF version.
