Introduction

Identify metals based on their reactivity with metal ions in solution. This is an activity sheet providing instructions for an experiment based on the metal activity series. It includes a blank data table and photograph of the experimental setup.


Educational Value Statement

  • Provides an activity for students to apply a knowledge of the activity series or redox reactions.
  • Asks students to make observations, record them systematically and draw conclusions.

 

Key Learning Objectives

  • Students investigate the chemical activity of metals
  • Students use word or symbol equations to represent chemical reactions
  • Students analyse patterns in data and draw conclusions that are consistent with evidence.
