Types of Chemical Reactions - Interactive Notes & PowerPoint

Product Description 

These interactive notes will help students classify and define the major types of chemical reactions through a combination of engaging visual aids and real life applications. The 5 types of chemical reactions explored include synthesis, decomposition, combustion, single replacement and double replacement. The interactive notes align with a PowerPoint slide show and an animated video, both of which are included. 

Options for in person instruction and distance learning are included. For distance learning, students can download a copy of the interactive notes and type directly into the document using a standard PDF reader. For the printable version, they can color in the visuals, which has been shown to influence memory retention.

With what standard does this resource align?

This resource will support students in moving  towards the mastery of the Next Generation Science Standards.

Middle school: 

• NGSS MS-PS1.B: Chemical Reactions: Substances react chemically in characteristic ways. In a chemical process, the atoms that make up the original substances are regrouped into different molecules, and these new substances have different properties from those of the reactants.

High School:

• NGSS HS-PS1-2: Construct and revise an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties. 

Is there prep involved? 

No prep is required with this all inclusive package. A variety of versions of interactive notes are provided for in person instruction and distance learning. This allows you to print or upload a version that works best to support your teaching practices and your students’ needs.  A PowerPoint slide show that mirrors the interactive notes and a link to ysci’s animated video are included. In addition, there is a set of practice problems and answer key on identifying the types of chemical reactions. 

How do I use this resource? 

• Flipped learning & distance learning: Students independently complete the interactive notes using the video to guide them. 
• Teacher led note taking: Use the included PowerPoint for direct instruction while students take notes using the interactive notes handouts. 
• All-in-one study guide: Students complete the interactive notes as a way to review the topic.
