Description
In this comprehensive experiment, students perform each of the 5 types of chemical reactions: synthesis, decomposition, single-replacement, double-replacement, and combustion. For each reaction, students observe evidence of a chemical change, predict the yielded product, and write the balanced chemical equation. For reactions that produce hydrogen, oxygen or carbon dioxide, students use a burning or glowing splint to identify the gas. In the final assessment, students classify a list of reactions by type, predict the products, and balance the chemical equations. Materials are sufficient for 30 students working in pairs.
