In an electrolytic cell, electrical energy is converted into chemical energy, the exact opposite of a battery! Lesson 15 in a series of 36 explores electrochemistry. Participants begin by reading and discussing oxidation/reduction...

Play a little game with your classes! Young scholars expand on their understanding of oxidation/reduction reactions in a game-based activity. They build a Galvanic cell with game pieces while learning about each component and their...

Learners investigate oxidation and reduction reactions. In this oxidation and reduction lesson plan, students construct an electroplating device and perform an oxidation/ reduction reaction. Learners describe the chemical changes that...

In this battery learning exercise, students read about oxidation-reduction reactions and voltaic cells. They are given a diagram of an electrochemical cell and they answer four questions using the cell. They also identify the anode given...

Students conduct an experiment to observe oxidation. In this chemistry lesson, students explain how rusting happens. They rank metals according to their conductivity.

In this transition metal ions and redox learning exercise, students read about the formation of metal ions through oxidation and reduction.

Students explore the process of oxidation. In this lesson about oxidation, students observe four different demonstrations. Students watch examples of oxidation in order to understand the process. Students discuss the chemical reactions...

Students are introduced to the topics of oxidation reduction and electrochemistry. Using this information, they review how to balance equations and solve half-reaction problems. In groups, they complete a lab activity and identify the...

This review sheet will be very useful to test your pupils' understanding of battery structure and redox reactions.  The questions ask for equations to be balanced and for the traditional equipment setups to be drawn and labeled....

National Chemistry Olympiad tests are released after their use each year, since they cannot use them again for this event. The result: outstanding comprehensive assessment resources for general chemistry classes! This 2005 version covers...

This quiz just looks neat! It has two cell diagrams for biology class members to label. They also describe the function of each organelle. A prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell are displayed for them to compare, and then they fill in the...

Your chemistry class set up six different redox reactions in the lab. Inquisitors methodically test each one and eventually order them according to oxidizing strength. This is a neat way to have the learners perform more than one...

A comprehensive practice exam, this resource covers many areas of chemistry. The test includes 71 multiple choice questions on topics such as problem solving, chemical equations, chemical formulas, thermodynamics, acids and bases, and...

If you use this as an outline for your chemistry lecture on metals, your young chemists will absorb a well-rounded overview. This is not a activity per se, but a useful summary of the behavior of metals. Save yourself some planning and...

When was the last time your class saw a catalyst in action? Chemistry scholars observe an activated complex during an engaging experiment. Through both color change and evolution of a gas, individuals gain insight into the...

Diagrams with annotations are shown on each of these eighteen slides, which summarize the processes of respiration. The focus is on the 3-step oxidation process and the Krebs cycle.  Students should be able to follow these slides...

Do some experimentation with reduction-oxidation! Stoichiometry superstars use a single-replacement reaction to study limiting reactant, theoretical yield, and the reactivity of metals through a lab activity. The teacher's guide includes...

In this oxidation-reduction reactions worksheet, students read about reactions where elements gain and lose electrons. When elements gain electrons they are reduced and when the lose electrons the elements are oxidized. They are given...

In this chemical reactions worksheet, students review the oxidation number rules and then assign oxidation numbers to atoms in given compounds. Students identify the reducing agent and the oxidizing agent in reactions. Students practice...

Students investigate the art and science of pyrotechnics.  In this chemistry and computer lesson, students learn about the chemical basis of fire and structure of fireworks.  Students then apply their knowledge in...

Students study oxidation and define vocabulary pertinent to it.  In this oxidation lesson plan students make predictions and create experiments

Explore how electricity splits water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. Learners begin by calculating the voltage necessary to separate the water. They then perform the experiment and measure the ratio of hydrogen and oxygen bubbles.

In this oxidation reduction worksheet, students read the notes provided about the different types of chemical reactions. Students identify the reactants and products and answer fill in the blank and short answer questions.

In this reaction activity, students assign the oxidation numbers to all the atoms in the given compounds and ions. Students determine whether an element is oxidized or reduced in the given reactions. This activity has 4 problems to solve.
