Rate of reaction chemistry reactions escape room grade 10

Description

Want a fun way to review key terms for chemical reactions? This grade 10 rate of reaction escape room with a mad scientist theme has you covered! The study of different chemical reactions introduces a lot of new vocabulary words for students. This escape room helps students consolidate and review key terms related to chemical reactions and the rate of a chemical reaction, while also having fun. There are various factors that impact the rate of chemical reactions that are important to understand in order to manipulate chemical reactions. Knowledge of the theory of these common types of chemical reactions is essential for students wanting to study chemistry in later years.

Spice up your chemical reactions unit and make it an interactive lesson with this escape room suitable for high school students in 9th grade and 10th grade science. It is suitable for students to complete as an individual activity or in small groups depending on the needs of your classroom.

Why use this rate of reaction escape room?

1. It is zero prep! Just share the link with students and away they go!

2. It is a fun and engaging way for students to review content in your science curriculum.

3. It builds important skills in problem-solving, critical thinking and collaboration.

4. It can be used in a wide range of environments including in the traditional classroom, online learning (fully digital version included), homeschooling and distance learning.

5. It is self-marked so students receive instant feedback.

6. Full teacher answer key.

What is needed to access the rate of reaction escape room?

Students just need access to a device with internet access. While the escape room uses a Google Form, students are not required to sign in so they don’t need an account to play.

What does the rates of reaction​ activity consist of?

The activity contains 8 tasks students must complete ​in order to ‘escape’.

Answers are entered into a Google Form (provided). The task cards are included digitally within the Google Form, but a pdf version of the task cards and answers is also included for you.

What this chemistry reaction rate activity escape room covers:

This escape room covers key terms and concepts related to different types of chemical reactions and speeding up a chemical reaction including the following terms:

• identifying the type of reaction
• result of chemical reactions
• decomposition reactions
• combustion reactions
• ​precipitation reaction
• endothermic and exothermic reactions
• activation energy and sufficient kinetic energy
• periodic table
• tests for gases e.g. ‘pop’ test for hydrogen gas, limewater for carbon dioxide gas.
• chemical equations and word equations
• formation of solid precipitate
• production of energy in the form of heat or light
• speeding up a chemical reaction using higher temperatures
• speeding up a chemical reaction using higher concentration of the reactants
• speeding the rate of the reaction using increased surface area of solids
• increasing the speed of the reaction using a catalyst
• collision theory, effective collision of reactant particles
• use of catalysts in living things: enzymes

For grade 11 and 12 students see this types of chemical reactions escape room.

A separate escape room for redox reactions / oxidation-reduction reactions can be found here. 

Note: This is not meant to be a rigorous assessment. It is designed to be a fun way to review key terms and vocabulary related to the main types of chemical reactions and how to manipulate the rate of the chemical reaction

Note: Due to the nature of the form and privacy issues of students across multiple schools completing it, you won’t receive the results of students. Since it is self-marked and they can’t progress to the next level without getting the answer correct, this isn’t usually an issue. However, if you need to see that your students completed the task for accountability, after purchasing, please send me an email at katrina@theanimatedteacherblog.com and I will send you a form just for your class with the results spreadsheet.
