Product Details

Your students will gain the necessary knowledge for exam day with this advanced inquiry lab. The lab covers Big Ideas 2 and 5 as students have a hands-on opportunity to explore metallic bonding, alloys and thermodynamic concepts. After completion of a homework set, six unknown metal samples are available for activity-station analysis by each student group. Students determine the identity of their metal by calorimetry and density measurements. A cooperative class activity allows for the entire class to discuss the results and agree upon a conclusion of each metal’s identity.

The activity includes enough reusable materials for 24 students working in pairs.

Performance Expectations

HS-PS3-1. Create a computational model to calculate the change in the energy of one component in a system when the change in energy of the other component(s) and energy flows in and out of the system are known.
HS-PS3-4. Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that the transfer of thermal energy when two components of different temperature are combined within a closed system results in a more uniform energy distribution among the components in the system (second law of thermodynamics).
