Product Details

“Metal reactivity increases as you move from top to bottom in a family of elements!” Will your students remember this statement if you just tell them? With this lab kit, students are actively involved in seeing and making observations about the properties, reactivity and solubility of the alkaline earth metals and the halide salts. Students write chemical equations for the reactions they observe and for the precipitates or gases that form. All chemicals, stirrers, reusable pipets and test tubes are provided in kit. Teacher Notes and reproducible student handouts included.

Complete for 30 students working in pairs.

Performance Expectations

MS-PS1-2: Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred.
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.
