You're bound to get a reaction from your classes with this experiment! Scholars perform several chemical reactions, make observations, and classify the reactions as single replacement, double replacement, composition, or decomposition reactions. Follow-up questions ask them to write and balance the chemical equations to match their conclusions.

Instructional Ideas

  • After making lab observations, have pupils draw conclusions independently and then compare answers as a group

Classroom Considerations

  • Ensure safety precautions are met when working with chemicals and the Bunsen burner
  • Requires a significant amount of time for set up and a specific set of materials

Pros

  • Replaces typical chemicals with safer materials
  • Includes a specific set of preparation instructions

Cons

  • None
