I work with students that range from year 1 to year 12, approx 30 with various Special Needs and esl. Because of the range in year levels and subjects covered it is impossible to find time to make my own resources for many of the lessons. Lesson Planet has become a realiable source to gain information and ideas.

Here is a five-day module in which high school chemists determine what other materials can serve as catalysts for producing ethanol. Another objective of the lessons is to introduce reaction rate and activation energy. Learners also use a computer to analyze and present their data.
High schoolers examine the factors affecting reaction rates. In this chemistry lesson, students compare and contrast exothermic and endothermic reactions. They write equilibrium expressions using Le Chatelier's principle.
Students investigate how varying the concentrations, volumes, and other factors affects reaction rates. Students design and conduct investigations to obtain data used to create graphs of an uncatalyzed reaction vs. a catalyzed reaction. Students use retest methods to determine how using various amounts of initial reactants changes the reaction rate.
Collaborating chemistry pupils observe that temperatrue increases the movement of dye throughout water, stirring increases the dissolving rate of sugar cubes, and concentration of solutions increases the chemical reaction rates. These and other included activities are meant to contribute to understanding what affects the rate of reaction.
A total of five experiments lead chemistry pros to understand the difference between physical and chemical change. They also experiment with exothermic reaction factors that affect rate of reaction. The procedures are not written in the conventional step-by-step manner. A worksheet is provided with questions to help learners process their observations. Although this was written for a high school chemistry course, it seems more appropriate for middle schoolers.
Students discuss the role of temperature in a person's reaction time and learn what a reaction rate is. They participate in an experiment in which reaction rates are recorded and discussed.
In this chemical reactions worksheet, students determine the reaction rate for various reactions, write balanced equations, create graphs showing the reaction over time, and calculate the activation energy and potential energy. This worksheet has 1 graph, 5 fill in the blank, 2 short answer, and 20 problems to solve.
In this reaction rates worksheet, students solve twenty problems including calculating reaction orders, reaction rates and writing rate expression for given multi-step reactions.
For this instantaneous reaction rate worksheet, students draw an energy diagram for a given reaction, they determine the rate law for a reaction, they determine a rate constant for a reaction and they determine the reaction rate for a reaction.
Students study reaction rates, what determines how fast a reaction happens and how the chemical changes occur. In this reactions lesson students complete a lab where they use Alka-Seltzer to observe reaction rate and create a graph with their data.
