Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction


Lesson 1: Terminology


Primary Learning Goals

I can distinguish between system and surroundings.

I can differentiate among open, closed, and isolated systems, and identify systems as open, closed, or isolated.

I can describe and differentiate between exothermic and endothermic reactions.

I can contrast physical changes, chemical reactions, and nuclear reactions, and the resulting energy changes.

I can define and differentiate among temperature, thermal energy, and heat.
