Overview:
This lesson developed from a close partnership between my partner teacher and myself. It was her request that I develop a lesson to be included in a unit on Energy. We worked together pulling our experiences and resources resulting in the final product seen here. This lesson was used in a core high school chemistry class consisting of students from grades 10 through 12, but it could easily be adapted to be used in lower grades.
