    Chemistry : Is This What You Think?

    Uploaded by

    Aladdin Jin
    This document provides an overview of fun and engaging ways to teach chemistry to high school students. It discusses using jokes, poems, songs and projects to help students develop a positive view of chemistry before the subject intimidates them. Examples are given of hands-on experiments like "film canister rockets" and "chemical baggie science" that demonstrate chemical reactions in an interesting way. The document also outlines key chemistry concepts like the three major groupings of chemical reactions and how chemistry relates to other sciences and everyday life. The goal is to show students how applicable chemistry is to spark their interest in the subject.

    CHEMISTRY…

    IS THIS WHAT
    YOU THINK?
    And who are the
    chemists?
    “My Vision”
    -Too often kids get to high school chemistry and
    they are scared before they even begin.
    -My goal is to shape a positive image in their minds
    about chemistry so that they can be more
    prepared mentally for high school.
    -I will do this by showing them how applicable
    chemistry is to every day life. It is the study of
    everything, and it is the central science.

    Mini Lesson: Chemical Reactions
    • Definition: A Process which produces chemical
    change.
    • Review- Chemical vs. Physical Change
    • Bonds are broken
    • Reactants and Products

    3 Major Groupings of Chemical
    Reactions
    1. Precipitation
    Reactions

    2. Oxidation-Reduction

    3. Acid-Base
    Neutralization
    Reactions
    Precipitation Reactions
    Precipitation reactions: When
    an insoluble solid called a
    precipitate forms when
    reactants are formed
    together.
    For example, when Carbon
    Dioxide is mixed with
    Calcium Hydroxide
    (limewater), the precipitate
    Calcium carbonate is
    formed.
    Ca(OH)2+CO2→H2O+Ca
    C03
    Calcium Carbonate is found
    in chalk!
    Oxidation/Reduction Reactions
    EXAMPLE:

    • A reaction in which Take a penny, file of the copper


    electrons are transferred to expose the zinc in the inside.

    from one atom to Place it in HCl, and zinc is


    oxidized.
    another.
    • Oxidation: The loss of Zn(s) + HCl(aq) Zn2+(aq) + Cl -
    (aq) + H2(g)
    electrons by an atom Zinc gains a positive charge,
    and is oxidized.
    • Reduction: The gain of
    electrons by an atom.
    Acid-Base Neutralization Reactions
    • When an acid reacts with
    a base to yield water and Demo: a typical example:
    a salt. HCl + NaOH H2O + NaCl
    • Acid= compounds that
    produce H+ ions when
    dissolved in water
    • Base= compounds that
    produce OH- ions when
    dissolved in water.
    • Neutralization involves
    H+ and OH- ions and
    always yields water
    (H2O) and a salt.
    Chemical Reaction Inquiry
    Lab: “Chemical Baggie Science”
    Students are given the following three
    chemicals:
    1. Calcium chloride - CaCl2
    2. Sodium Bicarbonate - NaHCO3
    3. Bromothymol Blue

    They are also given a 10 ml graduated cylinder


    and plastic baggies. They are told that they must
    try every combination possible from the three
    chemicals that they are given. The reactions
    can be conducted in sealed plastic baggies.
    After making some initial observations, students
    must conduct an experiment of their choice
    based on the scientific method.
    Hot Pack/ Cold Pack Lab/Demo
    • Locate the chemicals that are in hot packs and
    cold packs.
    • Demonstrate how the packs work by performing
    two different kinds of reactions.
    • Endothermic and Exothermic
