Description

This high school chemistry unit brings thermochemistry concepts to life with engaging activities and detailed guided notes! Lessons include discussions of specific heat, thermochemical equations, enthalpy, entropy, and reaction spontaneity. All student pages come in both PRINT and DIGITAL versions for efficient use in class or through distance learning.

PLEASE NOTE: This Chemistry unit is a virtual product and only comes as a downloadable .zip file to your email inbox.

This is an add-on unit* within my Full Chemistry Curriculum. If you purchase this unit and find you like it enough to buy the full curriculum, I will discount the price of the full curriculum to account for this unit purchase.  Simply contact me at su*****@*************ce.com for assistance.

*Add-on units include the same types of resources as my other units, but concepts from this unit are not included in the final exam because many teachers do not have time to get to these units.

➤Why choose a unit from Suburban Science?

1) The included NGSS, state standards, pacing guides, and differentiation ideas make lesson planning a breeze.

2) Student pages are compiled into one document that’s ready to print and copy all at once!

3) Supplementary resource links and optional practice pages are great for sub days, additional exploration, or struggling students.

4) Colorful, animated PowerPoints have bolded terms that match the fill-in-the-blank Cornell Notes for error-proof student notes.

5) Doodle Notes provide additional methods for summarizing and note-taking in a highly visual and aesthetic format.

6) Thorough teacher instructions and student examples are included for new teachers, but it’s still easy for experienced teachers to add in old favorites!

7) Editable PowerPoints, Cornell Notes, practice pages, and assessments make it quick and easy for you to add or remove content to fit your standards and the needs of your class.

 

➤What topics are included in this unit?

• Calculating heat energy & specific heat
• Enthalpy changes in reactions
• Exothermic and endothermic reactions
• Writing and using thermochemical equations
• Collision theory and reaction rates (no reaction rate calculations)
• Entropy changes
• Spontaneity of reactions & Gibbs free energy (honors only)

NOTE: This unit assumes the following knowledge: how to calculate moles and molar mass, how to balance an equation, how to identify the types of reactions and predict products. If your students don’t yet have knowledge of these concepts, please check out Unit 6- The Mole and Unit 7- Chemical Reactions. Le Chatelier’s Principle was previously discussed in Unit 8- Stoichiometry so it is not addressed in this unit.

 

The unit is aligned to NGSS practices and many state standards. If you’d like to know whether your state standards are covered, you can send me an email at su*****@*************ce.com.

 

➤What textbook can I use with this unit?

This unit is comprehensive enough to stand on its own without a textbook. If you prefer to use one, you can contact me for textbook suggestions at su*****@*************ce.com.

➤Can I edit these resources to fit my needs?

Some of the files in this unit are editable. The text on the PowerPoints, Cornell Notes, and task cards is all editable so you can adjust the level of content and wording. The pacing guide, some practice pages, quizzes, and tests are all fully editable. Labs, activities, extension pages, and any images included in this unit are in non-editable PDF formats to protect my intellectual property rights and those of the illustrators whose images I’ve purchased for use in this resource.
