Description: An online simulation by the University of Colorado Boulder that enables students to see what happens between atoms and molecules during a chemical reaction at the microscopic level. Students can analyze the resulting graphs to form conclusions about Collision Theory. ]]> 2020-07-20 17:37:22 UTC https://padlet.com/stephryn/dt09oj09oec7gsem/wish/658553660 stephryn https://padlet.com/stephryn/dt09oj09oec7gsem/wish/658554636 Key Question: How will heat flow from one system to another when objects are heated or cooled?
Description: An online simulation by the University of Colorado Boulder that gives students the opportunity to build their own system to explore heat transfer between various objects. Students can create tables to record the results of their virtual experiments in order to analyze them later. ]]> 2020-07-20 17:38:58 UTC https://padlet.com/stephryn/dt09oj09oec7gsem/wish/658554636 stephryn https://padlet.com/stephryn/dt09oj09oec7gsem/wish/658556219 Key Question: Where can my students see reaction kinetics in action?
Description: The Summerland Research and Development Centre is federal research facility located about a 10 minute drive from all high schools in our district.Their research focuses on improving and protecting Canadian agriculture. Reaction kinetics play a large role in the preservation of fruits and vegetables after they have been picked as well as identifying the best conditions for growth. ]]> 2020-07-20 17:41:30 UTC https://padlet.com/stephryn/dt09oj09oec7gsem/wish/658556219 stephryn https://padlet.com/stephryn/dt09oj09oec7gsem/wish/658560271 Key Question: Where do we see reaction kinetics in real-life?
Description: A short, easy-to-understand TED Ed video about some of the reactions that occur during the process of baking cookies. This would be a fun video to show students to promote further questions and discussion about why it is important to understand reaction kinetics in the food chemistry industry.]]> 2020-07-20 17:47:43 UTC https://padlet.com/stephryn/dt09oj09oec7gsem/wish/658560271 stephryn https://padlet.com/stephryn/dt09oj09oec7gsem/wish/658561420 Key Question: What do I need to know in order to teach reaction kinetics?
Description: This is a condensed detailed notes package that teachers who are new to teaching Chemistry 12 could read through or refer to in order to become familiar with the course content. Teachers could also share this resource with students as traditional notes, or give to a student who is going to be away on vacation during part of this unit. ]]> 2020-07-20 17:49:22 UTC https://padlet.com/stephryn/dt09oj09oec7gsem/wish/658561420 stephryn https://padlet.com/stephryn/dt09oj09oec7gsem/wish/658563634 Key Question: What does it look like when atoms and molecules react with each other and what is an activated complex?
Description: This great video clearly shows a model of how individual atoms and molecules interact during a chemical reaction. It covers the conditions required in order for a reaction to proceed and shows a model of the activated complex which is often difficult for students to imagine. ]]> 2020-07-20 17:52:38 UTC https://padlet.com/stephryn/dt09oj09oec7gsem/wish/658563634 stephryn https://padlet.com/stephryn/dt09oj09oec7gsem/wish/658565263 Key Question: What is enthalpy and how does it relate to endothermic and exothermic reactions?
Description: This short video clearly describes and gives examples of how to assign a positive or negative value to ΔH. The Professor Dave Explains YouTube channel contains hundreds of videos about a variety of chemistry and general science topics. ]]> 2020-07-20 17:54:36 UTC https://padlet.com/stephryn/dt09oj09oec7gsem/wish/658565263 stephryn https://padlet.com/stephryn/dt09oj09oec7gsem/wish/658566458 Key Question: What are the factors that affect the rates of chemical reactions?
Description: This webquest guides students through an exploration of the factors that affect reaction rates. Students compete this assignment in groups and will need access to technology in order to access the online links. ]]> 2020-07-20 17:56:11 UTC https://padlet.com/stephryn/dt09oj09oec7gsem/wish/658566458 stephryn https://padlet.com/stephryn/dt09oj09oec7gsem/wish/658570239 Key Question: How can I maintain student engagement throughout Chemistry 12?
Description: Jim Hebden is a well-known retired BC chemistry teacher. He has made a large number of his Chemistry 11 and 12 resources available for all teachers to use. These resources include demonstrations, student experiments, study guides and strategies to teach chemistry. ]]> 2020-07-20 18:01:08 UTC https://padlet.com/stephryn/dt09oj09oec7gsem/wish/658570239 stephryn https://padlet.com/stephryn/dt09oj09oec7gsem/wish/658573282 Key Question: How are catalysts used in real-life?
Description: This ~1600 word article discusses some important uses of catalysts in the human body and in industry. It would be a good article for students to read (possibly at home for a flipped-classroom approach) and then discuss and summarize in groups in class. ]]> 2020-07-20 18:05:46 UTC https://padlet.com/stephryn/dt09oj09oec7gsem/wish/658573282 stephryn https://padlet.com/stephryn/dt09oj09oec7gsem/wish/658601026 Big Idea - Reactants must collide to react, and the reaction rate is dependent on the surrounding conditions]]> 2020-07-20 18:49:05 UTC https://padlet.com/stephryn/dt09oj09oec7gsem/wish/658601026 stephryn https://padlet.com/stephryn/dt09oj09oec7gsem/wish/658601614 Seek and analyze patterns, trends, and connections in data, including describing relationships between variables, performing calculations, and identifying inconsistencies.
