The first glow sticks were patented by the US Navy in the 70's. They were called chemiluminescent signal devices. Today, glow sticks are still used by the military, emergency services, campers, divers and, of course, by kids for fun! The chemistry of a glow stick is pretty complicated. Sally's teacher let them experiment with glow sticks in science class. They bent the sticks, breaking the glass tube inside and the tubes began to glow bright colors."How can we make the glow sticks brighter", asked Maria? What is one suggestion you could give Maria to make the sticks glow even brighter?
Take the glow sticks into a dark room.
Put the glow stick in the freezer.
Heat the glow stick in hot water.
Wave the sticks around.

Juan Carlos and Michael are learning about chemical reactions and heat energy in science class. They have to design a device that releases heat and they decide to make some hand warmers. After some on-line research, they assemble the materials needed.There are only 4 things needed to make the handwarmer, all of them are very easy to aquire, if you dont already have them.
one large ziploc bag each one small ziploc bag each calcium chloride ice melter pellets water
The boys each made a hand warmer. They poured calcium chloride pellets into the bottom of larger ziplock bag. They filled the smaller bag about 1/4 full with water and then sealed the bag, pushing out as much air as possible. The smaller bag was placed into the larger bag and after squeezing out the air, the boys sealed their bags.When the bags were squeezed and the smaller bag opened releasing the water, the boys felt the larger bags get slightly warmer." How can we make the outer bag even warmer?" asked Juan Carlos. What would you tell the boys to try?
Use more calcium chloride in the larger bag.
Use less water in the smaller bag and more calcium chloride in the larger bag, making a more concentrated solution.
Use larger bags and more reactants.
Measure each reactant, experimenting to find the best ratio to produce the most heat.

Jill is studying the temperature output of an ammonium chloride hand warmer with a calorimeter. What change should she expect to see in the temperature of the water over time?
The water will remain a relatively constant temperature during the experiment.
The water will continue to heat up as the experiment progresses.
Initially the water will heat up and then it will slowly cool off as the hand warmer does.
The water will gradually cool off throughout the experiment like the hand warmer.
