Compare endothermic and exothermic reactions and give examples of each. In an endothermic reaction would we expect the temperature to rise or fall? Explain why.

Exothermic gives off heat/energy and endothermic takes in heat/energy. Exothermic example: a candle flame

Endothermic example: baking bread

In Exothermic, you can expect the surrounding temp. to rise, and in Endothermic you can expect the surrounding temperature to fall.

Hope this helps
