Help students explore what affects reaction rates through this engaging, inquiry-based chemistry lab!

In this investigation, students complete three hands-on reactions to examine how temperature, concentration, and particle size (surface area) impact the speed of chemical reactions.

This lab works perfectly as an introduction to reaction rates, a guided investigation, or a reinforcement activity. Students analyze patterns, compare results, and connect real data to reaction rate theory.

What Students Will Do:

• Investigate factors affecting reaction rates
  
• Compare reaction speeds under different conditions
  
• Analyze how temperature, concentration, and particle size influence reactions
  
• Strengthen data analysis and scientific reasoning skills
  

What’s Included:

✔ Student-friendly directions
✔ Teacher notes for easy implementation
✔ Student lab worksheet
✔ Complete answer keys

This Resource Is Great For:
