Who wants to see a MASSIVE explosion?? CaC2 + 2 H2O → C2H2 + Ca(OH)2 Calcium Carbide Water Acetylene Calcium hydroixde Reaction 1: CaC2 + 2 H2O → C2H2 Reaction 2: Aceylene + 02 CO2 + H2O SAFETY FIRST!!!!
OVERVIEW • Introduction to Chemical Reactions • Why Students Struggle with Chemistry • SNC 2D and SCH 3U Connections • Lessons #1-3: Introduction to Reactions Types of Reactions • Main Focus: Strategies to avoid memorization and Application
Why kids are struggling with Chemistry… • Procrastinating • Insufficient Math Preparation • Not Getting or Reading the Text • Not Practicing Problems • Psyching Yourself Out • Not Doing Your Own Work • ***Memorizing instead of understanding (lack of application)
Road blocks: Struggles “ Chemistry is scary…all those long chemical equations…How will I ever be able to approach them?? I will just leave them blank on the test” “ I have so much to memorize for tomorrow’s chemistry unit test..” “ I should have done all those practice problems that Ms. Sitarz assigned..”
Background Reactions are occurring all around us!!!! • Teachers need to: • Motivate and apply every day examples • Ensure that required expectations are met by each student that advance to SCH 3U • Consistency with Evaluations/Assessments • Avoid Memorization • PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE SET THE KIDS UP FOR SUCCESS!!!!
Expectations: The Big Ideas SCH 3U SNC 2D Chemical/physical properties SNC 1D Chemical and physical changes Quantitative/qualitative relationships Investigating chemical & physical changes/ testing for gases Properties and characteristics of reactions Chemical bonding & Lab Component Balancing Equations Identify, write the symbols, and formulas for common elements Quantities in chemical reaction Types of Reactions CHEMICAL REACTIONS
Assessment: Diagnostic TestHow much do you Remember? Physical or Chemical Change?
Physical or Chemical change? You tell me? On your cue cards, write a scenario where this item/object would be considered a physical or chemical change [Can it be both?]
Lesson 1: Introduction to Chemical Reactions • Reactants and Products + + • Physical or chemical change?
Lesson 1: Introduction to Chemical Reactions • Counting Atoms • Subscripts versus Coefficients • Classroom Activity: • Counting Atoms (~1minute- Keep switching cards) • Formative assessment Includes Different Learning Styles
Counting Atoms • Using Marshmallows… • (visual/tactile) Mg + 02 MgO WHY DO WE CARE? • Building Blocks; Essential for Balancing • Understanding Subscripts and Coefficients • PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!!!
Lesson 1: Continuation… BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.. Students please copy down the overhead
Lesson 1: Continuation… BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.. Students please copy down the overhead
Lesson 1: Continuation… • Introduction to Law of Conservation of Mass: 1. What does “ Law” mean? • Rules 2. What does “Conservation of Mass” mean? • “Conserved/Conserving ??” Why Do I need to Know This?????? • Law of Conservation of Mass Balancing • Application • Do we spend too much on Knowledge and Inquiry? • Balance
Lesson 2: Balancing Chemical Reactions • Take up homework • Counting atoms/Conservation of mass • Take up problems/questions • Critical for next section Building Blocks BALANCING EQUATIONS • Why Do Students Struggle with Balancing? • 1. Starting point • 2. Misplaced Coefficients • 3. Balanced? • 4. Scared/ Psyched out
Lesson 2: Continuation • Why Do Students Struggle with Balancing? • 1. Starting point Element Inventory • 2. Misplaced CoefficientsBoxes around ALL chemical formulas • 3. Balanced? Element Inventory • 4. Scared/ Psyched out Practice, Practice…
Lesson 2: Balancing Equations Assessment • Formative Assessment • Student/ “Teacher” Activity: • 1. Student balances equations • 2. Switch with partner • Partner will do Inventory of Elements (Mark/ Correct equation) • Teacher Observations • Activity Promotes: • Team Building, Communication, Ensures Skill development
Lesson 3: Types of Reactions • Take up/collect worksheets from previous day • REVIEW OF WHMIS • What do you Want Your Students to Take-out of this? 1. Not Memorizing Equations 2. Understanding What is really happening and Why 3. Collaborative Contributions 4. Stress Importance of Safety • Why Do they need to know this? • Applicable to All fields of Employment
Lesson 3: Types Group Activity **Differentiated Instructions/ Addressing all Types of Learners** • Activity: • Get into Groups of 4 • Follow Teachers Instructions • Together we go through Different Types [INCLUSIVE: Knowledge, Application, Inquiry, Communication]
Reaction #1: Synthesis 1. Teacher Demonstration: (Visual/Auditory) • Burning Magnesium ribbon • Mg + O2MgO + Energy 2. Student Demonstration: (Tactile) • Milk + Chocolate Chocolate Milk 3. Problem Solving Activities (Logical/Mathematical) • 1. What does “synthesis” mean? • 2. Was burning Mg ribbon a chemical or physical change? Why? • 3. Using the letters “A” and “B” form your own Equation to represent a synthesis reaction • 4. Balance Equation • 5. Application- Purpose of MgO? Where is it used?
Reaction #1: Synthesis 3. Problem Solving Activities (Logical/Mathematical) • 1. What does “synthesis” mean?- to produce • 2. Was burning Mg ribbon a chemical or physical change? Why? – chemical, heat/light produced • 3. Using the letters “A” and “B” form your own Equation to represent a synthesis reaction- A + B AB • 4. Balance Equation- 2Mg + O2 2MgO • 5. Application- Purpose of MgO? Where is it used? • Librarians, Construction workers, Doctors, Nurses etc…

Balance Equation • 5. How do you test for O2 gas? Mn02
Reaction #2: Decomposition 3. Problem Solving Activities (Logical/Mathematical) • 1. What does “decomposition” mean?- to breakdown • 2. What does a Catalyst do? Example?- • Accelerates a chemical reaction without itself being affected (Silva) • 3. Using the letters “A” and “B” form your own Equation- • ABA + B • 4. Balance Equation- 2H2O2 2H2O + O2(g) • 5. How do you test for O2 gas?- burning splint test- if it re-lights
Reaction #3: Single Displacement 1. Teacher Demonstration: (Visual/Auditory) • Fe(s) + CuSO4 (aq) --> Cu (s) + FeSO4 (aq) 2. Student Demonstration: (Tactile) • “So you think you can Dance?” 3.

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE? Analogy - Dancing with Reactants • When you are thinking about the four different types of reactions I'd like you to think about its similarity to dancing. I'll show you what I mean. The dance…
Lesson 3 finishes off by… • Combustion • Culminating Lab Following Day- • Formative and Summative Evaluation • Counting, Balancing, Types of Reactions, Law of Conservation of Mass, pH tests • OR DO OWN PREPARTION FOR LAB (Full Inquiry-IP, PR, Al, C) Teacher monitoring Standards/Ethical Strands of practice **All though a lot of hands on, keep in mind that some do not learn like this: Work Sheets for practice Literacy Worksheets SET THEM UP FOR SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!
