Chemistry Unit 3 Day 6 (continued)

Learning: Students will learn about factors that affect reaction rate and will gather data, analyze and interpret its meaning in explanatory writing using the language of science (concentration, pressure, temperature, angle, reaction rate, collision theory, activation energy, energy), check in partners, and sentence starters.

Questions:

1. How can activation energy change the speed of a chemical reaction? (book or brain)
2. What makes molecules collide and react? (book or brain)
3. What effect does lowering the activation energy have on a reaction? (book or brain)
