Introduction to Chemical Reaction Rates (Materials for up to 10 groups)

• Experiment kit designed to introduce students to the factors that affect reaction rate
• Through a series of experiments using heat, concentration, catalysis, and surface area as rate factors, students will learn about the variability in reaction rate
• Kit contains enough material for 10 groups, including chemicals, observation sheets, and student exercise copymasters
• Perfect experiment for high school chemistry classes
• Safety data sheets included to inform safe storage and maintenance of chemicals

Chemical reaction vary greatly. For example, some chemicals react extremely fast like an explosion, while others, like rusting metal, can react over a long period of time. Understanding the factors that influence the rate of a reaction allows the scientist to speed up or slow down reactions as desired. This kit has been designed to introduce students to the concepts of reaction rates through a series of experiments demonstrating the impact of concentration, heat, surface area, and catalysts. Kit contains enough materials for 10 groups. Safety data sheets, teacher's manual, and student study guide copymasters are included.
