Activation Energy of exothermic Reactions - Teaching Tool
thingiverse
I created this simple representation of an exothermic reaction's energy profile for a didactic course I'm taking. It demonstrates why activation energy is necessary to initiate the reaction, as shown by the need to lift the ball up the hill before it can roll down. Using steel balls is recommended, but I've included a 3D-printable ball design that has not been tested for printability. If you encounter any issues or have suggestions on how to improve this representation, please let me know! In the future, I might create an endothermic reaction simulation.
