Controlling Chemical Reactions

Chemical reaction illustration

🧪 Part 1: Experiment Data Table

Instructions: Record your observations and reaction times for the variable your group is testing. Use a stopwatch to measure how long the reaction lasts and describe what you observe.

1. What variable is your group testing?

Temperature

Concentration

Surface Area

Catalyst

2. Complete the data table below:
Condition 1 Reaction Time (seconds) Condition 2 Reaction Time (seconds) Observations
3. Which condition produced the faster reaction?

The faster reaction occurred with: ___________________________

📊 Part 2: Analysis Questions

4. How did changing your variable affect the chemical reaction? Explain using evidence from your data.
5. Why do you think this variable had the effect you observed? Use scientific reasoning.
6. Based on your results, predict what would happen if you made the variable even more extreme (hotter, more concentrated, etc.).
7. What are two sources of error that might have affected your results?

Source 2: _________________________________________________

🎯 Part 3: Exit Ticket

8. Which factor made the reaction happen fastest in your experiment?
9. Why do you think increasing temperature speeds up a chemical reaction?
10. How could this knowledge about controlling reaction rates be useful in everyday life? Give one specific example.
