Lesson Plan: Reactivity Series Chemistry
This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to use the reactions of metals with water, acids, oxygen, hydrogen, and metal oxides to determine the metals’ order of reactivity.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- identify and understand the reactivity series,
- explain how the reactivity series is constructed,
- fill in gaps in the reactivity series,
- describe the reactions of metals with water, acids, oxygen, hydrogen, and metal oxides,
- identify the more reactive metal from a pair of metals,
- relate the reactivity series to the stability of a metal’s compounds.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- metals,
- transition metals.
Exclusions
Students will not cover
- the extraction of metals,
- electrochemical series.
