BVHS CHEMISTRY LAB

Wk#6: February 16-20, 2026 ~ Honors Chemistry

Essential Question

a) How can bond energies be used to determine whether a reaction absorbs or releases energy, and what patterns in bond breaking and bond forming explain the overall enthalpy change of a reaction?


b) How can analyzing my first-semester performance and learning strategies help me make intentional adjustments to improve my understanding, skills, and outcomes in the second semester?

Learning Target

a) I can calculate the enthalpy change (ΔH) of a chemical reaction using average bond energies and analyze how the energy required to break bonds and the energy released when bonds form determines whether a reaction is endothermic or exothermic.


b) I can analyze my first-semester strengths, challenges, and learning habits and explain specific strategies I will adjust & apply to improve my performance/understanding in the 2nd semester.
