The Science Connection: Overview of the Lesson

  • This lab showed that heat is generated when iron oxide or rust is created.
  • Working in small groups gives students the opportunity to work together to accomplish a goal.
  • When students are allowed to talk about what they think will happen, excitement towards the upcoming activity is created.
  • Students take the temperature in the jar every two minutes.
  • Once the experiment is complete, the students can remove the lid of the jar and feel the temperature change.
  • They can also feel the moisture that has developed inside the jar.
  • They can also detect a smell once the rust has accumulated.
  • By removing the steel wool from the jar and pulling it apart, the students can see the rust that was created.
