(exo vs endo, can talk about DH and DS) Heat transfer between hot metals and water in calorimeter. Solid state at different temperatures (can look at entropy differences) Salt dissolving in water (look at process, polarity, how water surrounds ions) Kinetics Orientation Nuclear Chemistry Alpha, Gamma and Beta Demos Taped Live Demonstrations Most courtesy of Tom Greenbowe and the chemical education research group at Iowa State University.  (tgreenbo@iastate.edu)
