Potential Energy Diagrams

Potential Energy Diagrams

Some reactions give off energy and some reactions absorb energy. For example, when we sit near a fire it feels warm because the reaction gives off energy (Reactants have a lot of potential energy that is being converted into kinetic energy in the products). This interactive activity for grades 9, 10, 11 and 12 explores potential energy diagrams.
