Lesson plan
Investigating the chemistry of how fireworks work | 14-16 years
Explore the principles behind fireworks and what makes the different colours we see when they go off using this lesson plan with activities for 14–16 year olds.
-
Lesson plan
Group 2 elements: making mind maps | 16-18 years
Construct mind maps with your students to describe and compare the properties of group 2 elements and their compounds in this lesson plan for 16–18 year olds.
-
Resource
The chemistry behind fireworks
Discover practical experiments, a DART and other activities for 11–16 year olds, exploring key chemical concepts in the context of fireworks.
-
Experiment
An alternative to using compressed gas cylinders
Getting gas under pressure allows exciting demonstrations such as igniting balloons filled with hydrogen gas. Includes kit list and safety instructions.
-
Experiment
Reacting elements with oxygen
Different members of the periodic table will exhibit different reactions when exposed to oxygen, often through heating. This practical supports students to understand the diversity of chemicals and their principles.
-
Experiment
The oxidation states of vanadium
Introduce your students to the idea that different oxidation states of transition metal ions often have different colours, and that electrode potentials can be used to predict the course of the redox reactions. Includes kit list and safety instructions.
