Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Classify synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement and combustion reactions
Balance a chemical equation and explain the steps
Describe what happens in a combustion reaction
Teaching tips
Every station needs a device with a QR code reader and internet access; the tasks link to external pages and an online simulation, so check the links before class.
