Description
Here’s a great hands-on introduction to chemical reactions and reaction types that also saves money and planning time. The bundle includes 1 teacher demonstration kit, Carolina Chemonstrations®: Metal Activity Series (item #840319), and 2 classroom lab kits, Carolina ChemKits®: Mystery Chemical Reactions (item #840660) and Carolina ChemKits®: Types of Chemical Reactions (item #840740).
Build a foundation for learning about chemical reactions with Carolina Chemonstrations®: Metal Activity Series (item #840319). Students observe a series of single-replacement reactions, then use their observations and logic to build a mini activity series. The demonstration requires approximately 15 min, and the materials are sufficient for 5 demos.
Your students can continue to build confidence with reaction types through Carolina ChemKits®: Types of Chemical Reactions (item #840740). This comprehensive kit includes materials for 30 students working in pairs to perform synthesis, decomposition, single-replacement, double-replacement, and combustion reactions. Activities also include predicting products, writing balanced chemical equations, and verifying gas products.
Finally, introduce students to a method of identifying unknown chemicals from evidence of reaction with Carolina ChemKits®: Mystery Chemical Reactions (item #840660). Students perform 45 different chemical reactions on a unique reaction mat, look for signs of chemical reaction, then use their data to identify 8 unknown chemicals. This microscale procedure makes setup and cleanup easy. Materials are sufficient for 30 students working in groups of 3.
