  Demonstration: Inflating a Balloon with Chemistry Mark as Favorite (4 Favorites)

  In this demonstration, the teacher will perform a reaction between acetic acid (vinegar) and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) in order to inflate a balloon and to introduce the concept of a chemical reaction to students. Students will observe the reaction, and identify indicators of chemical change as well as discuss the different types of matter that are involved.

• 

  Exothermic & Endothermic, Classification of Reactions

  Simulation: Energy Changes in Chemical Reactions Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In the November 2016 simulation, students will evaluate the energy changes in an endothermic and an exothermic chemical reaction. Students will have the opportunity to compare how energy is absorbed and released in each reaction, and will make a connection between the standard energy diagrams associated with each reaction type.

• 

  Molecular Formula, Ionic Bonding, Covalent Bonding, Molecular Structure, Naming Compounds

  Simulation: Ionic & Covalent Bonding Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In the September 2016 simulation, students investigate both ionic and covalent bonding. Students will have the opportunity to interact with many possible combinations of atoms and will be tasked with determining the type of bond and the number of atom needed to form each. Students will become familiar with the molecular formula, as well as the naming system for each type of bond and geometric shape, when applicable.

• 

  Le Châtelier's Principle, Establishing Equilibrium, Reversible Reactions, Reaction Rate | High School

  Lab: Dynamic Equilibrium Simulation Mark as Favorite (10 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will explore equilibrium using paper clips to mimic a chemical reaction.
