Reactivity of metals | practical videos | 14–16 years
By Karen Marshall and
Sandrine Bouchelkia
Video with supporting resources featuring three experiments investigating the relative reactivity of metals, including metal displacement reactions in microscale
Investigate the relative reactivity of metals with a demonstration (alkali metals and water) and two experiments for learners (metals and acid, metal displacement reactions) exploring the concept for GCSE and equivalent 14–16 courses. Use as revision or consolidation for learners studying post-16 courses.
Additional resources include pause-and-think questions with answers, teacher notes, technician notes, integrated instructions, intended outcomes, follow-up worksheet, and structure strips. These will help ensure you get the most out of any of these practical investigations and provide revision materials.
