Endothermic and Exothermic Reactions

Explore endothermic and exothermic reactions, energy absorption, and release. Learn with examples!

#1) Fill in the blanks. Energy plays an important role in chemical reactions. Energy can either be absorbed, which is called an endothermicreaction, or it can be released, which is called an exothermic reaction. #2) Sort the descriptions into either endothermic or exothermic. Endothermic Energy is absorbed Temperature of surroundings decrease Cooling pack Ice melting Photosynthesis Exothermic Energy is released Temperature of surroundings increase Heating pack Water freezing Respiration #3) Label the chart. Write "endothermic" or "exothermic" ONLY. No capitals! endothermic exothermic
