Listen and learn about different types of chemical reactions such as combination, combustion and decomposition. Learn different steps on how to write combustion equations and view how single displacement reaction occurs.

After observing a demonstration of a chemical reaction between a burning candle and the oxygen in the air, learners use atom model cut-outs to model the reaction and see that all the atoms in the reactants show up in the products.

Students investigate how to build and launch a simple rocket that uses hydrogen and oxygen gases that will be mixed to propel the rocket. Students learn the principles of combustion reactions, kinetics, stoichiometry of reactions,...

A detailed description of the different types of chemical reactions in organic and inorganic chemistry.

In this lesson, young scholars learn about the components of air and the chemical reactions that release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and explore the connection between carbon dioxide, climate change, and environmental health.

Created to teach students of the 21st century, SOPHIA is bringing the basic types of chemical reactions straight to your fingertips. Become the commander of your own learning experiences as you take part in this interactive lesson...

Watch this screencast introducing several common types of chemical reactions. [1:36]

This resource provides an overview of the basics of combustion. Explore how a fire ignites, how molecules rearrange themselves and what a flame is made of.

Students burn a magnesium strip to reinforce the concepts of chemical vs. physical changes, reaction types, conservation of mass, formulas and equations, stoichiometry, Lewis structures, and to explore the concept of oxidation/reduction...

Through observation students will come to a better understanding of what is required for combustion to occur, and the byproducts that are created by burning various fuels.

The guided inquiry activity enables young scholars to identify the five basic types of reactions - synthesis or composition, decomposition, combustion, single replacement and double replacement. Students will also begin to predict the...

Students learn about the five different types of chemical reactions, as well as the three classifications of reactions.

Assess your ability to distinguish between exothermic and endothermic chemical reactions with this interactive multiple choice quiz. Receive immediate feedback to your answers.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In the following online tutorial students will define and give general equations for combination, decomposition, single-replacement, and double-replacement...

This lab exercise exposes students to a potentially new alternative energy source-hydrogen gas. Student teams are given a hydrogen generator and an oxygen generator. They balance the chemical equation for the combustion of hydrogen gas...

This lab provides the opportunity for learners to generate, collect, and test two very common gases, hydrogen and oxygen. They will test the combustion reaction of different proportions of the gases based on the most reactive explosion.

Explore the different types of combustion and learn about flames and fuel.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students cover the five general types of chemical reactions: synthesis, decomposition, combustion, single-displacement, and double-displacement. The flipchart concludes covering the reactions as the...

Learn about the chemical reactions that take place when things burn in this interactive activity from the NOVA Web site.

In this experiment students observe a combustion reaction and deduce the components necessary for the reaction to occur. They also see the relationship between pressure, volume, and number of molecules for gases.

Investigate the answers to many commonly asked questions about chemical change. This comprehensive list will address chemical equations and double displacement reactions in addition to other topics.

After learning about and reviewing the types of chemical equations and rules for balancing, students can practice balancing equations on interactive quizzes.
