My Project

Thermochemistry is one of the most important parts of chemistry where we put the periodic table aside and make some sense of the ideas of hot and cold.

Thermochemistry is an often misunderstood part of everyday life that students deserve the chance to experience through exciting, hands-on activities.

One of the ways we learn about thermochemistry is through endothermic and exothermic reactions (that is reactions that give off or absorb heat).

Another way we learn about thermochemistry is through the use of calorimeters where we can do exciting labs to discover how good different objects are at storing heat.

Help fund my chemistry class's lab so that we can make the most out of this amazing topic!
