Entropy Teacher Resources

In this chemical equilibrium worksheet, students review Le Chatelier's Principle and predict the direction of equilibrium shift for different changes to a chemical reactions. Students also review enthalpy and entropy. This worksheet has...

In this thermodynamics worksheet, students calculate the enthalpy change and free energy change for given reactions. students describe what happens to the entropy of a system and describe how its enthalpy changes. This worksheet has 20...

The Carnot Cycle is the focus of this chemistry video. Carnot was a French engineer who proved that energy transfers happen in a cycle. They start and finish at the same pressure, volume, and temperature. A system that completes the...

Since the temperature of a system is so crucial in its energy transformation, Sal goes into two processes which greatly affect temperature in a system: The Isothermic Process and The Adiabatic Process. He sets up an example, and...

In this thermodynamics worksheet, students review kinetic and potential energy, enthalpy, entropy, and standard hear of formation. This worksheet has 1 short answer and 5 problem solving questions.

In this chemistry 112 activity, students use their knowledge of chemistry concepts to answer the multiple choice questions provided. Students calculate the answers using the appropriate formulas.

In the world of chemistry, efficiency is defined as: the work a system does, divided by the energy given to that system to complete the work. Sal illustrates this important chemistry concept by drawing a PV graph that shows a Carnot...

Your students will love this PowerPoint! Great visuals will support understanding of membrane proteins, cell membranes, active transport, and diffusion. There are a lot of details on each page and all are relevant. The presentation could...

Sal introduces students to the term, "enthalpy" in this chemistry video. He defines enthalpy as: the internal energy, plus the pressure times the volume found in a system. He constructs a PV diagram to illustrate this point.

Discover how writers express identity in their writing. Learners explore how issues of identity surface in the literature of minority writers. Scholars watch a video, read and discuss biographies, conduct research, engage in creative...

While this resource does not provide problems for chemistry learners to solve, it outlines skills that they should have and concepts that they should grasp. Topics include thermodynamics, periodicity, redox equilibria, transition metals,...

Examine how heat can be transferred between systems by reconstructing a diagram on energy flow and solving problems on heat flow and work done.

Learners played a game of Jeopardy where there was five categories with five questions each in order to assess the retention of concepts taught over the semester. The categories included: Graphing/Summarizing/ Scientific Method, Gravity,...

Several slides compare different temperature scales. Thermal expansion, heat transfer, and Maxwell speed distribution are also explored. The last two slides seem unrelated to the topic of heat, but are easily left out of this otherwise...

This New York Times "Learning Network" exercise on reading informational text poses 6 questions about a high-interest article on teen fashion. The article meant to be review with is resource, "More than meets the iPhone Lens", is rather...

While all learners need to know the benefits and responsibilities of working in a small group, this presentation and its vocabulary are geared toward a late high school or early college student. Why do we study in small groups? Why do...

Topping this activity is a comprehensive collection of notes about phase changes. The phase change graph is displayed, along with formulas for the gas laws, and information relating energy to change of phase. After reviewing these notes,...

Students examine the effects different substances have on proteins. They test different molecules reaction to water. They discover how the amount of water affects the shape of the protein.

In this thermodynamics worksheet, students review the first law of thermodynamics and define enthalpy, state functions, and heat capacity. Students use Hess' law and heats of formation to solve reactions. This worksheet has 30 problems...

Students describe and define chemical reactions. They design a laboratory experiment, collect data and analyze data.

In this thermodynamics instructional activity, students review enthalpy, state functions, bond energy, and heat capacity. This instructional activity has 2 multiple choice, 6 matching, and 12 problems to solve.

In this thermodynamics worksheet, students match terms to their definitions such as enthalpy, equilibrium, bond energy, and heat capacity. This worksheet has 20 words to match.

Students compare and contrast the Big Bang Theory and the Cyclic Universe Model. They explain basic properties of the univers which make life possible. They evaluate ideas about the origin of the universe as to their scientific value.

Seventh graders create a model of an ecosystem and label it to show structure and function. They research the food web of an aquatic animal and also trace energy flow from the primary producer up the food chain.
