Two examples are displayed in graphic form, demonstrating to your young chemists how synthesis reactions work. This is not a full presentation, but rather just a couple of slides. Don't let its brevity cause you to disregard its value,...

What happened when the chemistry teacher told a bad joke? There was no reaction! A creative take on the traditional reaction types lesson invites learners to draw their own conclusions about how compounds and elements combine. Groups...

Graphic organizers, photos, diagrams, and text bring the world of chemical reactions to life. By viewing this presentation, young chemists learn how to recognize when a chemical reaction has occurred, and how to balance chemical...

Excite classes with a STEM project-based learning lesson covering chemical reactions. Groups study the different types through simulations and hands-on activities. They pick one type (synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double...

Fossil fuels are non-renewable resources and have become crucial to the livelihood of countless individuals. Young chemists investigate an alternative method of generating energy by performing a series of activities that lead to the...

Enzymes: not just for breaking chemicals apart. Young biologists perform an experiment on potatoes. They first remove starch from potato extract. They then add the resulting liquid to samples of glucose-1-phosphate, glucose, maltose, and...

How fun would it be to teach the concept of stoichiometry while allowing your chemistry class to assemble a classic campfire treat? This fun and engaging activity allows pupils to explore the principles of the chemical theory while...

This PowerPoint presentation is sure to support your lesson on chemical reactions. Colorful diagrams and pictures, solubility tables and rules, clever animations and diagrams make teaching these concepts a cinch! Your chemistry...

Once I told a chemistry joke, but there was no reaction. Get young chemists involved in changes and reactions with a presentation that begins with physical and chemical changes and chemical reactions. It moves on to chemical...

In this synthesis of organic compounds worksheet, students show the steps used to make compounds using toluene, benzene, straight chain carboxylic acid and alkyl halide. They include reagents needed and they show all structures in their...

Tenth graders write and balance chemical equations and make a PowerPoint presentation on synthesis reactions.

Get ready to kick things up a notch! Young scientists explore the effects of catalysts using a fun interactive. Learners start the reaction without using a catalyst, then add one over time to examine its effects on reaction rate.

Short, but sweet, this presentation walks chemistry masters through the products of acid chlorides. It almost behaves like an animation as different questions and compounds appear and disappear with each click. Check it out!

In this reaction types activity, students complete a graphic organizer by determining what type of reaction is shown in the example given.

For this chemical reactions worksheet, students follow a flow chart to determine what type of reaction is occurring. Students then classify reactions and balance the equations. This worksheet has 2 short answer and 10 fill in the blank.

Students define the term chemical reaction, identify the reactants and products in a chemical reaction, distinguish between decomposition and synthesis reactions and construct reactions using food items.

Summarize your topic of chemical reactions with this short presentation about classifying and the properties of different reaction types. Your students should be able to name the reaction types, identify the ions involved, and write the...

Challenge young scientists to design their own experimental procedures. They write the procedure for properly preparing two grams of a water-insoluble ionic salt. To finish, they perform the experiment and collect data to prove their...

A chemistry instructional activity presents 14 chemical reactions for scholars to observe, write the equation, and balance the equations. Additionally, it provides ways to extend the activity as it relates to catalysts.

What do aspirin and the willow tree have in common? Scholars of chemical synthesis engage in a fascinating reaction to make their own aspirin samples. The lab uses thin layer chromatography analysis, includes stoichiometric calculations,...

This exam is aimed at assessing college level organic chemists. Ten problems are to be solved and include drawing molecular structures, assessing degrees of saturation, ordering alkenes according to stability, and explaining chemical...

In this chemistry worksheet, students work on a problem set consisting of 16 equations in which they synthesize carboxylic acid derivatives.

In this reactions worksheet, students are given nine chemical reactions to identify as single replacement, double replacement, synthesis or decomposition reactions.

For this reactions worksheet, students predict the products of 5 equations and write the equations for 5 reactions using their knowledge of types of reactions.
