Decomposition Reaction Teacher Resources

This is not a complete slide show, but rather the general form and a diagram depicting what happens in a decomposition reaction. It is large, colorful, and easy to read. A useful tool for explaining decomposition reactions to your...

Two animated slides explain the decomposition reactions that occurs within a catalytic converter. An enthalpy diagram is displayed. Hess's Law is demonstrated. Finally, the analogy of football is used to explain Hess's Law. This...

Somehow 55 chemistry problems have been squished onto a single page! Don't assume that it is a mess, however. High school chemists write the products for different types of reactions. Then they identify the type of reaction in addition...

Here is a short, but well-rounded review of redox reactions. Chemistry apprentices identify the type of reaction, write half-reaction equations, balance equations, and assign oxidation numbers. Being brief, this would make a purposeful...

If you need a homework assignment for your chemistry class, add this one to the possibilities. This assignment is composed of six questions including the identification of oxidizing and reducing agents, recognizing different redox...

This is one way to get a reaction from your classes! The lesson presents the different reaction types with an explanation, chemical equation model, and examples. The slides include decomposition, single replacement, double replacement,...

Pull the trigger on chemical reaction understanding! Curious chemists discover the three basic reaction types using a video from JFR Science. The resource presents each reaction with written and verbal tips and practice problems.

A descriptive video segment details five types of chemical reactions, including synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement, and combustion. It is engaging for even the most discerning young chemists.  

How many different types of reactions can you name? After watching the video, your classes should be able to discuss five different types. The lesson explores the similarities and differences between combination, single replacement,...

Break down a great lesson on decomposition reaction with an informative video. Fourth in a 35-part series, the resource builds from the previous lesson explaining the role of a catalyst. The detailed video explains the experimental...

What happened when the chemistry teacher told a bad joke? There was no reaction! A creative take on the traditional reaction types lesson invites learners to draw their own conclusions about how compounds and elements combine. Groups...

You're bound to get a reaction from your classes with this experiment! Scholars perform several chemical reactions, make observations, and classify the reactions as single replacement, double replacement, composition, or decomposition...

Graphic organizers, photos, diagrams, and text bring the world of chemical reactions to life. By viewing this presentation, young chemists learn how to recognize when a chemical reaction has occurred, and how to balance chemical...

Introduce high schoolers to chemical reactions with this series of activities. In a little over an hour, scientists observe four gas-producing reactions: the combination of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide, placing pasta in...

Several factors affect the rate of a chemical reaction including temperature, surface area, and concentration. Using an experimental approach, learners explore the effect concentration has on this rate while maintaining consistency with...

Excite classes with a STEM project-based learning lesson covering chemical reactions. Groups study the different types through simulations and hands-on activities. They pick one type (synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double...

In this chemical reactions worksheet, students are given the reactants of equations and must complete each equation by writing the products and balancing the equation. They must also identify the type of reaction.

Students devise an experiment to test the rate of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. In this rate of reactions lesson plan, students use the given information in the lab to write a procedure that will allow them to find the rate of...

This PowerPoint presentation is sure to support your lesson on chemical reactions. Colorful diagrams and pictures, solubility tables and rules, clever animations and diagrams make teaching these concepts a cinch! Your chemistry...

In this reactions worksheet, students complete the given reactions by writing the products. Students do examples of composition, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, and combustion reactions. This worksheet has 54...

Once I told a chemistry joke, but there was no reaction. Get young chemists involved in changes and reactions with a presentation that begins with physical and chemical changes and chemical reactions. It moves on to chemical...

Ever wish you could go back in time? A reversible reaction is chemistry's way of turning back the clock! The ninth installment in a 35-part chemistry lesson series explains the science behind reversible reactions. The instructor uses...

Young scholars decompose glucose and write an equation for the reaction. In this decomposition reaction lesson plan, students burn a sample of glucose and test the products for water using cobalt chloride paper. They write a balanced...

More than 90 percent of chemical products are made using a catalyst. Lesson demonstrates the way a catalyst changes the rate of reaction without altering the chemical reaction. A catalyst doesn't appear as a reactant or a product, yet it...
