Product Details

Watch how your students react as they see the carbon come out of the sand and simulate a snake; it grows and grows! With disbelief they will ask, where is it coming from? How is it possible? You will be able to explain the decomposition of chemicals when exposed to flames in the presence of oxygen. A perfect example of an exothermic reaction and chemical change.

Performance Expectations

MS-PS1-2: Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred.
MS-PS1-4: Develop a model that predicts and describes changes in particle motion, temperature, and state of a pure substance when thermal energy is added or removed.
MS-PS1-5: Develop and use a model to describe how the total number of atoms does not change in a chemical reaction and thus mass is conserved.
HS-PS1-5: Apply scientific principles and evidence to provide an explanation about the effects of changing the temperature or concentration of the reacting particles on the rate at which a reaction occurs.
HS-PS2-6: Communicate scientific and technical information about why the molecular-level structure is important in the functioning of designed materials.
