Gizmo Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Student Exploration: Reaction Energy Directions: Follow the instructions to go through the simulation. Respond to the questions and prompts in the orange boxes. Vocabulary: calorimeter, chemical bond, endothermic, enthalpy, exothermic, Hess’s law Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) 1. Two magnets are stuck together. What might you have to do to get them to separate? 2. Suppose you held two magnets a short distance apart, then let go. What would happen? 3. Think ab...

Student Exploration: Nuclear Reactions [Note to teachers and students: This Gizmo was designed as a follow-up to the Nuclear Decay Gizmo. We recommend doing that activity before trying this one.] Vocabulary: chain reaction, CNO cycle, catalyst, deuterium, electron volt, fission, fusion, isotope,...

Student Exploration: Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Vocabulary: allele, genotype, Hardy-Weinberg equation, Hardy-Weinberg principle, heterozygous, homozygous, Punnett square Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) Suppose the feather color of a bird is controlled by two alleles, D and d. The D allele results in dark feathers, while the d allele results in lighter feathers. D d D d 1. Suppose two Dd birds mate. What percentages of DD, Dd, and dd offspring would you predict?...

Student Exploration: Feel the Heat Vocabulary: calorimeter, conductor, controlled experiment, dissolve, endothermic, exothermic, insulator, solute, solution, solvent, surroundings, system Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) Eduardo hurts his knee during a basketball game. The trainer applies a cold pack, which gets cold after being squeezed. The next day, Eduardo’s friend Beth is going sledding. Beth buys some hand warmers and puts them into her gloves. All morning,...

Student Exploration: Inclined Plane – Simple Machine Directions: Follow the instructions to go through the simulation. Respond to the questions and prompts in the orange boxes. Voca-bulary: coefficient of friction, efficiency, force, free-body diagram, friction, inclined plane, mechanical advantage, mechanical energy, normal force, resultant force, simple machine, vector, work, work-energy theorem Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) Jan is moving to a new apartment...

Stoichiometry Answer Key Vocabulary: Avogadro’s number, balanced equation, cancel, coefficient, dimensional analysis, molar mass, mole, molecular mass, stoichiometry Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) [Note: The purpose of these questions is to activate prior knowledge and get students thinking. Students are not expected to know the answers to the Prior Knowledge Questions.] 1. A 250 mL glass of orange juice contains 22 grams of sugar. How much sugar is in a two-l...

Vocabulary: absorption spectrum, binary star, blueshift, Cepheid variable, emission spectrum, giant star, nebula, redshift, spectrum, star Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) 1. What happens when light goes through a prism? Light bends and the visible spectrum showing the colors of the rainbow are visible. This band of colors is called a spectrum. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet 2. A rainbow is an example of a spectrum. What is the sequence of col...
