Students can engage with each other in a fun game of dots and boxes while determining if a chemical reaction or physical process is endothermic or exothermic.
Here's how to play endo or exothermic dots and boxes:
students take turns drawing horizontal and vertical lines between adjacent dots
when a student draws a 4th line and closes the box, they add their initials or color in the box
the student determines if the process represented is endothermic or exothermic
if the box contains an endothermic process, they get 1 point
if the box contains an exothermic process, they get 2 points
the student who closed the box gets to draw another line
players continue taking turns until all boxes are closed and claimed
the player with the highest total points will win the game!
Students should be familiar with:
phase changes and if they are endothermic or exothermic
using the sign of ΔH to determine if a process is endothermic or exothermic
comparing energy required to break bonds vs. energy released when bonds (or IMFs) are formed to determine if a process is endothermic or exothermic
This resource includes:
dots & boxes game board with 20 problems
blank student worksheet for scratch work
student tally sheets to keep track of points
