Admit Are chemical reactions reversible? Activation Energy - Page 50 Lets Read - What does activate mean? - What is activation energy then? - (use an example of trying to move the lab table across the room) Catalysts - Page 51 - Is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction. - Some reactions can harm you CO2 build up in the blood stream of your body. - (use creating a snowboarding club to give an example of what a catalyst is as a non scientific term) Enzymes - these are used to speed up chemical reactions - they do NOT change what happens in a chemical reaction, just make it happen faster! - Require ph ranges! - (go back to the example of moving the lab table I need a table moving enzyme to help me move the table.) - (Example: Eskimo living Atwater during the summer or me living in Antarctica neither one of us will function well since that is not our own environment.) Weekly Log Admit - CFU Read Activation Energy on pg. 50 Lecture CFU: Thumbs up or Down/finger rubric system. CFU: Think A Minute What do you think is a more acidic environment, your mouth or your stomach? WHY? CFU: Random Call using name cards. Review What is a catalyst? Why is an enzyme known as a catalyst? Can a chemical reaction be reversed? What is the energy needed to start a chemical reaction called? What does an enzyme do? What has an effect on how an enzyme works, what do they need?

o. Review / Summary: We have now covered chemical reactions and enzymes. Enzymes are catalysts, which speed up chemical reactions. Enzymes are proteins and remember from our last chapter and from today that proteins are specific so they must fit like a lock and key. Think back to what proteins are made of They are made of amino acids and each amino acid needs to have a specific sequence and number to fit correctly in the keyhole. Your enzymes that function in your mouth are not going to work in your stomach and the same goes for your stomach enzymes not being able to work in your mouth. p. Assessment (of lesson s objectives): Review question CFUs throughout the lesson. q. Closure (Synthesis, Prep for tomorrow.): Chemical reactions are everywhere! How did our pennies turn out? Make sure you work on the study guide and be ready for our exciting lab tomorrow with diet coke and mentos! It may get a little messy so be prepared. r.

Specific Instructional Objective(s) (All three components): Given the proper instruction and materials the students will describe, collect data and analyze the reaction that happens with you drop mentos into diet coke by completing the lab worksheet provided. XIII. Equipment, materials, supplies, books, resources needed for this lesson (attach handouts): mentos/diet coke lab worksheet (35), three 2 liter diet cokes, 3 rolls of mentos, table, yard stick, large grassy area for the lab. XIV. Academic Language: Hypothesis Analyze Data Experiment Conclusion Reaction XV. Teaching procedures: k. Anticipatory set: Diet Coke and Mentos Explosion! l. Stated objective(s): Today we are finally going to do the mentos and diet coke lab! We will be doing this outside in the grass. You will need to bring your lab worksheet and a writing utensil with you so you can collect your data from the experiment. Once we complete all three trials we will come back inside and complete the rest of the lab worksheet in groups. m. Purpose: To see a reaction happen in real life and to practice our scientific method skills while conducting an experiment. n. Input (presentation): Subject Matter (outlined) Teaching Methods
Weekly Log How high do you predict the soda will go depending on each set of mentos trial? Diet Coke and Mentos Lab - describe the mentos - State the problem (What do we want to know?) - Form a hypothesis - Describe how we will conduct the experiment - Go outside and complete trials 1 3 - Complete lab worksheet Weekly Log Was your hypothesis correct? Why or why not? What would you change about this experiment if you were to do it again? Weekly Log Admit: Class discussion about question 1 4 on the worksheet. Instructor completes the trials while students record their data. Students work individually or in a group to analyze and graph their data on the worksheet. Weekly Log Exit: o. Check for understanding (write it out fully): How are we going to complete the experiment? What is our problem? What is the hypothesis that you all came up with? p. Demonstration-Modeling: Steps 1. Set the three 2 litter bottles on the table outside. 2. Open the first bottle and funnel in three mentos to complete trial one. 3. Open the second bottle and funnel in 7 mentos to complete trial 2. 4. Open the third bottle and funnel in 14 mentos to complete trial 3. Key Points - Before adding mentos in each trial, ask the students how many mentos I should be putting in. Make sure you have the students pay attention to how high the soda goes using the meter stick as a guide to measure the height. - After each mentos explosion trial take a minute to let the students write their data on the lab worksheet. Guide them in understanding what happened. Tell them not only to pay attention to the height but to look at how much soda is left in the bottles? Did any mentos fly out while the soda was exploding? Was there a breeze/wind? What other effects could come into consideration when getting the data? q. Check for understanding again (write it out fully): How many mentos are we putting in each trial? What should you be writing down for the data? r. Guided practice (application bullets or paragraph): The students will watch the experiment three trials of mentos being dispersed into the diet coke. After each trial the students should be collecting data on each trial. Once we get through three trials the students will go back to the classroom and complete the lab worksheet by analyzing and coming up with a conclusion. s. Quest activities (optional, if time permits): None. t. Review / Summary: We have now put into action a reaction! Pretty exciting stuff! Ask some students to share what their hypothesis was and if it was correct or incorrect. Discuss some of the data that was collected and describe some of the graphs that were used to show their data. u.
