Lesson Plan: Reaction Rate Measurements Chemistry
This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to perform different experiments whose results can be analyzed to calculate the rate of reaction.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- describe practical examples of how the rate of reaction is measured through the amount of reactant used or the amount of product formed,
- describe experiments to investigate the effects of changes in surface areas of solids, concentrations of solutions, and temperature and the use of catalysts on the rate of reaction,
- list alternative methods of measuring the rate of reaction.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- types of scientific variables, such as independent, dependent, and control variables,
- scientific vocabulary such as the terms accuracy and repeatability.
Exclusions
Students will not cover
- interpreting graphs and results produced from rate of reaction experiments,
- calculation of the rate at specific points of a reaction using tangents.
