Neutralisation Reactions

This is a simple worksheet about writing word equations for neutralisation reactions. It covers 2 pages. There are plenty of examples, which get harder as you go on. There is an accompanying powerpoint, as an additional download… NB I am well aware that exam boards, RSC and text books regard acid plus metal to be a redox reaction, which of course it is. However, in such a reaction, the pH increases to neutral and the acid has gone, so I think it can properly be regarded as neutralization of an acid. And since this worksheet is really about naming salts, I had to include it.

Double click on the ‘skeleton.html’ file, et voila. Drag the labels to the correct place. As AFL around the whiteboard, or individual revision at a computer. The smiley face makes it more endearing. Please note: in order to provide a rich interactive experience, my drag & drop resources are mini-web sites local to your computer. After unzipping, they comprise a folder containing the main .html file and another folder containing the graphic resources and my coding to make the resource work. Double click on the .html file and the resource will work. If, however , you move or delete any of the files from this hierarchy, the resource will not work.

For those year six induction days or the like, this is a drag & drop exercise to label the bunsen burner. Double click on the html file and there it is!

A simple, photocopiable worksheet (black and white!) that gives practice at interpreting simple chemical formulae. The examples get harder as you proceed. It is comprised of two pages of examples. It is suitable for KS3 and KS4 students. It could be used in class or for homework.

A simple wordsearch on 1 side of A4. It is quite a challenge! For GCSE chemists. ( I have now removed an error which had two letters in one box and one box with a space. I had to make it bigger and spread the puzzle onto two sides, one side with clues and one with the puzzle grid. Apologies to those who bought the defective version- contact me for a replacement)

Word searches help concentrate on scientific literacy and aid concentration. they are good summary activities and for revision. I have tried to make this attractive and efficacious in that it uses only one side of A4. A solution is provided.
