This PowerPoint resource is a complete instructional tool designed to teach students about energy changes in chemical reactions. The resource focuses on drawing and interpreting reaction profile diagrams for exothermic and endothermic reactions, defining activation energy, and explaining its role in chemical processes.

It includes clear learning objectives, engaging starter activities, and interactive tasks to reinforce understanding. Students will explore the differences between exothermic and endothermic reactions, learn how to label key features on reaction profiles, and understand how catalysts influence activation energy. The resource also covers key concepts like energy release, absorption, and bond breaking and forming.

Designed for high school chemistry lessons, this resource aligns with common science curricula and is ideal for interactive teaching, individual practice, or group work. It includes definitions, worked examples, gap-fill exercises, and review questions to assess understanding. Students are encouraged to draw diagrams, identify energy changes, and label components to deepen their comprehension.

This ‘.pptx’ file is fully editable and compatible with most presentation software, allowing teachers to customize content to suit specific classroom needs. The resource has been designed for clarity and engagement, ensuring it remains an effective teaching aid for energy concepts in chemistry.

AQA GCSE Chemistry Energy Changes: 4 Lesson Unit

This GCSE Chemistry Foundation Tier PowerPoint bundle provides a comprehensive series of lessons on energy changes in chemical reactions, including exothermic and endothermic reactions, reaction profiles, bond energy calculations, and required practicals. Designed for AQA GCSE Chemistry students, this bundle includes detailed explanations, practical investigations, visual diagrams, and exam-style questions to support learning and assessment preparation. What’s Included in the Bundle? Lesson 1: Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions * Definition of exothermic and endothermic reactions and how they involve energy transfer. * Examples of exothermic reactions (combustion, neutralisation) and endothermic reactions (photosynthesis, thermal decomposition). * Practical examples of energy transfer, including hand warmers, self-heating cans, and sports ice packs. Lesson 2: Required Practical – Temperature Changes * Step-by-step guide to investigating temperature changes in neutralisation reactions. * How to classify reactions as exothermic or endothermic using temperature changes. * Risk assessment, apparatus list, and full method for accurate experimentation. * Graphing and data analysis – how to plot and interpret temperature change graphs. * Evaluation of experimental errors and improvements. Lesson 3: Reaction Profiles * Understanding reaction profiles (energy level diagrams) for exothermic and endothermic reactions. * Definition of activation energy and how it affects the rate of reactions. * How to label energy of reactants, energy of products, activation energy, and overall energy change on a reaction profile diagram. * The role of catalysts in reducing activation energy and increasing reaction rates. Lesson 4: Bond Energy Calculations and Energy Changes * How bond breaking is endothermic and bond making is exothermic. * Explanation of why reactions are exothermic or endothermic based on energy required to break bonds vs energy released when forming bonds. * Step-by-step worked examples of bond energy calculations. * How to determine if a reaction is overall exothermic or endothermic using bond energies. * Exam-style practice questions and calculations to reinforce understanding. Why Use This Resource? * Designed for AQA GCSE Chemistry students. * Fully editable PowerPoint (.pptx) files for easy adaptation. * Clear explanations, structured lessons, and engaging visuals. * Supports practical work and energy change calculations. * Includes exam-style practice questions and activities to reinforce key concepts.
