1 – 4 of 4 Classroom Resources

• 

  Reduction, Oxidation, Redox Reaction, Catalysts, Activation Energy, Combustion | Elementary School, Middle School, High School

  Video: Catalytic Converters Video Mark as Favorite (31 Favorites)

  This video investigates the role of a catalytic converter and its corresponding chemical reactions within a vehicle. Students will learn about both oxidation and reduction reactions and how they, in combination with a catalyst, can impact the molecules released in a car’s exhaust.

• 

  Redox Reaction, Electron Transfer, Chemical Change, Observations, Experimental Design, Scientific Method | High School, Middle School

  Lab: Test Tube Geology Mark as Favorite (7 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will observe a reaction between an iron nail and copper(II) sulfate in a test tube over the course of several days, modeling how a similar reaction occurs to form copper deposits in the earth. Students will also modify the procedures to evaluate how changing a factor of their choice affects the results of the test tube reaction, introducing them to concepts of experimental design. It also introduces students to my version of the Science Writing Heuristic (SWH).

• 

  Chemical Change, Classification of Reactions, Oxidation, Reduction, Redox Reaction, Electrons, Electron Transfer, Observations, Inferences, Chemical Change | Middle School

  Lesson Plan: One Tube Reaction Mark as Favorite (5 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students will observe a chemical change involving oxidation and reduction.

• 

  Chemical Change, Oxidation, Reduction, Redox Reaction, Electrons, Electron Transfer | Middle School

  Lesson Plan: Old Rusty Mark as Favorite (2 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students will explore the concept of oxidation of metals by creating designs on fabric or paper using rusty objects.
