Classify reaction energy
Middle school students classify types of chemical reaction energy — exothermic and endothermic — in this Physical Science worksheet on Chemical Reactions, examining where energy goes as bonds break and form. Teachers can use it to sharpen the conceptual distinction between energy-releasing and energy-absorbing reactions before a lab. Understanding reaction energy classification is a foundational skill for high school chemistry and biochemistry.
Learning objectives
- Classify chemical reactions as exothermic or endothermic based on energy changes
- Identify observable evidence that indicates energy is released or absorbed
- Explain how bond breaking and bond forming relate to energy change in a reaction
