Distance Learning: Introduction to Ionic Reactions

This activity is designed to introduce students to ionic reactions. Students will test a series of microscale chemical combinations to learn how to identify if a chemical reaction has occurred. The contents of this kit have been optimized to minimize pre-lab preparation, waste generation, and risks of cross-contamination. Kit contains an Instruction Guide and enough materials for 2 groups of students.

Aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)*

Disciplinary Core Ideas: PS1.A; PS1.B

Performance Expectations: MS-PS1-1; MS-PS1-2; MS-PS1-5; HS-PS1-1; HS-PS1-2; HS-PS1-7
