Grade 7 Assessed Lab 4 - Exothermic Reactions - Lab Assessment

This document provides instructions for a lab experiment to investigate an exothermic reaction. Students are asked to identify the independent variable as the amount of calcium oxide used, measure the dependent variable of temperature change, control variables like type of calcium oxide and thermometer used, and record results in a table. They then graph temperature over time and draw a line of best fit, concluding that temperature increases as calcium oxide reacts and predicting future results. Students also suggest ways to improve reliability and describe uses for exothermic and endothermic reactions.
