Video Learning Notes
This lesson guides Grade 6 students through designing, testing, and improving devices that release or absorb thermal energy via chemical reactions. Students learn to measure temperature changes, control experimental variables, and apply iterative engineering design principles. Through hands-on investigation and data analysis, they develop a deeper understanding of exothermic and endothermic reactions and how chemical processes can be harnessed to transfer thermal energy effectively.
Learning Goals
- Construct a device that uses a chemical process to release or absorb thermal energy.
- Test the device by measuring temperature changes over time and under varying conditions.
- Modify the device design based on test results to improve its performance in releasing or absorbing thermal energy.
- Explain how chemical reactions in their device cause thermal energy changes.
- Use scientific data to support claims about the device's thermal energy behavior.
