Science Assessment ~ Topics ~ Energy: Forms, Transformation, Transfer, and Conservation ~ Misconception RGM022

Energy is created during chemical reactions.

Items that test for misconception RGM022 in this project (ASPECt) and key idea ()
Item ID Number	Item Description	How Often the Misconception was Chosen
RG173002	An increase in temperature indicates that the amount of chemical energy decreased during the reaction.	45%
RG030003	A heat pack has less chemical energy after a reaction occurs inside the pack because some of its energy was transferred to a skier’s hands.	39%
RG181001	Measuring an increase in temperature during a chemical reaction is an indicator that the chemical energy of the reactants is greater than the chemical energy of the products.	23%
RG031003	The reactants of photosynthesis have less chemical energy than the products because energy from the sun is converted to chemical energy during photosynthesis.	20%
