Curated OER
Chemistry II Enthalpy Worksheet
In this enthalpy equation worksheet, students are given 3 examples of chemical reactions. Students then respond to 4 practice problems and 1 challenge problem in regard to heat and energy change and release.
Curated OER
Invisible Ink!
Students explore how chemical reactions occur. After a brief discussion of household chemicals and how they work, students prepare a solution of invisible ink. Students create a message with their ink and watch the reaction as their...
Curated OER
Type of Chemical Reactions: Single and double displacements
Learners are taught that combustion of carbon in charcoal briquetts produces heat and light. They are shown how to find single displacement and double displacement. Students solve problem set of single and double displacement.
Curated OER
Rusting as a Chemical Reaction
Students participate in a hands-on activity in which they observe conditions that are most conducive to the rusting of iron. They set up an experiment with 8 different nails in different situations with one of them acting as a control....
Curated OER
Acids, Copper, and Zinc
Middle schoolers observe chemical reactions using post-1982 pennies. They observe the reaction of an acid with zinc but not copper under the same conditions over a two week period.
Curated OER
Speed me up, Scotty!
Students describe and define chemical reactions. They design a laboratory experiment, collect data and analyze data.
Curated OER
Types of Chemical Reactions
Students conduct labs to gain an overview of chemical reactions. They observe examples of synthesis, decomposition, single displacement and double displacement reactions. They identify certain products by the use of litmus and splint tests.
Curated OER
Physical and Chemical Changes
In this physical and chemical changes worksheet, students will read 4 different examples of a physical or chemical change and will write in the effect of each of these changes.
Curated OER
Lactose Intolerance
Students are taught how enzymes enable chemical reactions to occur a body temperature and how the lack of enzymes in the body can cause problems in the break-down and absorpion of nutrients. They match up different enzymes with the...
Curated OER
Coal Moisture Analysis
Students investigate coal samples and analyze its drying loss under controlled conditions. They establish the loss in mass of a sample when heated under controlled conditions of temperature.
Curated OER
Physical vs. Chemical Change Lab
Students recognize both a physical and chemical change in different substances. They determine which particles actually changed into different substances, and explain if it represented a physical or a chemical change.
Curated OER
Baggie Science
Students work in groups and observe chemical reactions inside zip-lock bags. They use all of their senses, except taste, to observe the reactions.
