1 – 4 of 4 Classroom Resources

• 

  Reaction Rate, Reaction Rate | Middle School, High School

  Activity: Simulation Activity: Investigating Reaction Rates Mark as Favorite (66 Favorites)

  In this simulation, students will have the opportunity to investigate several factors that can affect the initial rate of a chemical reaction. Students will have the opportunity to manipulate several variables including concentration, temperature, or surface area of the reactants as well as the addition of a catalyst during the simulation. These reaction rates will be compared to a controlled reaction. Students will interpret a simplified qualitative representation of the reaction as well as analyze corresponding data organized on a graph.

• 

  Limiting Reactant, Balancing Equations, Stoichiometry, Conservation of Mass | High School

  Activity: Limiting Reactants Using Particulate Diagrams Mark as Favorite (47 Favorites)

  In this activity, students will practice drawing particulate diagrams to help them determine the limiting reactant given a certain number of reactant molecules. Students’ practice with particulate diagrams will help them better visualize and understand limiting reactant calculations. The visualizations provided in this activity are helpful at all levels, from beginning chemistry students up through AP chemistry students, who will need to be comfortable with particulate diagrams for the AP exam.

• 

  Pros Cons of Nuclear Power, Combustion, Acid Rain, Radiation, Renewable Energy, Radiation | High School

  Activity: Town Meeting Mark as Favorite (36 Favorites)

  In this activity, students will learn about acid rain, gas scrubbers, half-life, chain reactions, and other topics around electricity production through a debate on nuclear power.

• 

  Review, Subatomic Particles, Ions, Isotopes, Electrons, Atomic Mass, Lewis Dot Diagrams, Model of the Atom, Balancing Equations | High School, Middle School

  Activity: Tic-Tac-Toe Review Mark as Favorite (41 Favorites)

  In this activity students collaborate to complete tic-tac-toe review questions to prepare for a test on the atomic structure unit. The idea behind the activity is to give students choice and you can read more about the inspiration for the activity in the May issue of Chemistry Solutions.
