This PowerPoint resource, Lesson 1 - Rates of Reaction, introduces students to the concept of reaction rates in chemistry. Designed for secondary-level science classes, this resource helps students define key terms such as reactants, products, and rate of reaction, while also exploring methods for measuring reaction rates using real-world examples.
The lesson includes engaging activities like graph plotting, calculating gradients, and analyzing reaction data to determine the mean and instantaneous rates of reaction. Students will develop critical analytical skills by interpreting graphs and calculating the gradient of tangents to measure reaction rates at specific points. Key methods for measuring reaction rates, including gas collection, mass loss, and time-to-precipitate formation, are thoroughly explained and accompanied by visual examples.
This resource also features interactive starter activities, extension challenges, and plenary tasks, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the topic while catering to varying student abilities. It is compatible with most devices, provided in a .pptx format, and can be used with software like Microsoft PowerPoint or Google Slides.
Last updated on 12/12/24, this resource includes updates to video links and questions for better user experience. Perfect for teachers aiming to simplify complex chemistry concepts, this resource is aligned with standard curricula and designed to enhance both classroom and independent learning.
This engaging PowerPoint presentation, titled Surface Area, provides an in-depth exploration of how surface area affects the rate of chemical reactions. It is specifically designed for science educators aiming to deepen students’ understanding of collision theory and reaction dynamics.
The resource begins with clear learning objectives: identifying factors influencing reaction rates and explaining how surface area impacts these rates. A starter activity involving word unscrambling and foundational questions primes students for the main content. The lesson introduces collision theory, activation energy, and the role of particle interactions in reaction rates.
Students explore the effects of surface area through practical examples, including calculations comparing the surface area of whole cubes and smaller subdivisions. Visual aids and structured activities, such as filling in the gaps and analyzing reaction scenarios, enhance comprehension. A detailed explanation of how increased surface area leads to more frequent and energetic collisions solidifies theoretical understanding.
This resource also includes a practical alternative using a video demonstration of calcium carbonate reacting with hydrochloric acid. Students learn to graph reaction rates and interpret data, distinguishing between scenarios involving whole and crushed marble chips. The steeper slope for crushed chips vividly illustrates the concept of reaction rate acceleration.
Practice questions and challenge questions extend learning opportunities for diverse student abilities. The included file is a PowerPoint presentation (.pptx), ensuring compatibility with standard devices. Updated with the latest interactive features and alternative formats, this resource is a valuable tool for both classroom and virtual teaching environments.
Keywords: Collision Theory, Surface Area, Reaction Rate and Activation Energy.

This resource is Lesson 1 of the Reactivity Series unit for IGCSE/GCSE Chemistry (Edexcel-aligned but adaptable to other boards), introducing students to how metals are arranged in order of reactivity based on their reactions with water and dilute hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. Students learn the full reactivity series — potassium, sodium, lithium, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, zinc, iron, (hydrogen), copper, silver, gold — and explore the investigation used to determine this order through observation and temperature changes.
It consists of a fully editable PowerPoint presentation (with embedded teacher notes, structured activities and on-screen timers), a print-ready PDF version of the presentation, plus a ready-to-use worksheet to consolidate understanding and support equation writing and analysis. Everything is laid out for immediate classroom use and requires no additional preparation.

While some of the images used weren’t created by me, what you’re purchasing is the carefully structured lesson plan along with the custom-designed presentation and worksheet.
A fully-resourced lesson which looks at the meaning of the rate of reaction and guides students through calculating both the mean and instantaneous rate of reaction. The lesson includes a concise lesson presentation (19 slides) and a question worksheet which is differentiated two ways.
The lesson begins by challenging the students to suggest the missing factor in the rate of reaction equation so they can learn that either the mass of a reactant or a mass of a product could be used. Links are made to practical skills as students will understand that if a product is in the gaseous form, the volume produced within a set time will enable the rate to be calculated. Worked examples are used to show the students how to calculate the mean rate of reaction and then the instantaneous using a tangent. The rest of the lesson involves collecting data from an experiment to calculate the rate of reaction. The questions associated with the practical have been differentiated so students who need assistance can still access the learning.
This lesson has been written for GCSE students
Quiz based on hyperlinked slides. One mistake and it is 'Game over'. Also includes explanation slides, so could be good for independent learning and revision
