Thought-Provoking Capstone Demonstration for the Chemical Reactions Unit
// Monday, November 6, 2023 • Michael Jansen
It is my humble opinion, based on 36 years of teaching high school chemistry, that 11 Chemistry must start with a look at Chemical Reactions, for the simple reason that this begins the student’s formal study of chemistry with an empirical focus.

Adjusting a Types of Reactions Lab for Virtual

Discussing chemical reactions with my students has always been one of my favorite topics because the students got to see the chemistry on a bulk scale. The chemistry on paper comes to life in the lab. The unique teaching situation that we find ourselves in forces chemistry educators to adapt and evolve.

Demonstration: Reaction of Magnesium and Silver Nitrate

I found a version of this demonstration online a couple of years ago. I admit, when I first tried it with my class it was mostly for a crowd pleaser to demonstrate the activity series of metals, but I then became very intrigued by the processes occurring.

Types of Chemical Reactions

I expect that most high school chemistry teachers assign some type of laboratory related to types of chemical reactions including synthesis, decomposition, single replacement and double replacement reactions. I have used several published versions, but I am sharing my modifications.
