Classroom Resources: Electrochemistry

1 – 4 of 4 Classroom Resources

• 

  Reduction, Oxidation, Redox Reaction, Catalysts, Activation Energy, Combustion | Elementary School, Middle School, High School

  Video: Catalytic Converters Video

  This video investigates the role of a catalytic converter and its corresponding chemical reactions within a vehicle. Students will learn about both oxidation and reduction reactions and how they, in combination with a catalyst, can impact the molecules released in a car’s exhaust.

• 

  Reduction, Oxidation, Anode, Cathode, Half Reactions, Electron Transfer, Spontaneous Reactions , Electricity | Middle School, High School

  Animation: Galvanic Cell Animation

  This animation explores how a galvanic cell works on a particulate level. Copper and zinc are the chemicals depicted in the spontaneous reaction. The transfer of electrons and involvement of the salt bridge are highlighted, in addition to the half reactions that take place for Zn (Zn → Zn2+ + 2 e-) and Cu (2 e- + Cu2+ → Cu). **This video has no audio**

• 

  Chemical Change, Classification of Reactions, Oxidation, Reduction, Redox Reaction, Electrons, Electron Transfer, Ions, Observations, Inferences, Chemical Change | Middle School

  Lesson Plan: One Tube Reaction

  In this lesson, students will observe a chemical change involving oxidation and reduction.

• 

  Oxidation, Chemical Change, Oxidation, Reduction, Redox Reaction, Electrons, Electron Transfer | Middle School

  Lesson Plan: Old Rusty

  In this lesson, students will explore the concept of oxidation of metals by creating designs on fabric or paper using rusty objects.
