GR 8 NS T2 Week 7

The document outlines a one-week lesson plan on chemical reactions, covering key concepts such as reactants, products, and the differences between physical and chemical changes. It includes two lessons focused on the introduction to chemical reactions and their mechanisms, including fermentation, neutralization, and combustion. Classwork activities are provided to reinforce understanding of these concepts through identification and explanation of chemical processes.

STRAND: MATTER AND MATERIALS

TOPIC: CHEMICAL REACTIONS


DURATION: 1 WEEK
CONTENT & CONCEPTS: • Substances can react with each other to form products with
different properties
• The substances that react with one another are called reactants
• The substances that are produced are called products
• In reactions, re-arrangement of the atoms takes place
• Indigenous knowledge includes useful chemical reactions, such
as fermentation

REQUISITE PRE-KNOWLEDGE: Gr 8: atoms

LESSON 1
LESSON TITLE: INTRODUCTION TO CHEMICAL REACTIONS
DATE: 13/05/2024
DURATION: 1 HOUR
KEY CONCEPTS: • Substances can react with each other to form products with
different properties
• The substances that react with one another are called reactants
• The substances that are produced are called products

CHEMICAL REACTIONS
• A physical change occurs when the physical properties of a material change but the material
does not lose its identity.
• A chemical change occurs when materials react to form a new material with different
properties to the initial materials.
• A physical change is easily reversible while a chemical change is not easily reversible.
• During a chemical reaction substances react to form new substances with different chemical
properties.
• The reactants are the substances that take part in a chemical reaction and are changed.
• In a chemical reaction the substances that are produced are called the products.
• Reactants and products have different chemical properties.
• Chemical reactions can be represented by using chemical equations.
Reactants → Products
• There are many signs that indicate that a chemical reaction has taken place.
• They include a colour change, fizzing or a gain or release of energy.
CLASSWORK
1. Identify the following as physical change or chemical change:
a. Melting butter
b. Crushing ice
c. Electrolysis of water
d. Cutting paper
e. Burning wood
f. Rusting of an iron gate.

2. Identify the reactants and the products in the following chemical reactions:
a. Hydrogen gas and oxygen gas react to form water.
Products:____________________________________________________________________
Reactants:___________________________________________________________________

3. Look at the demonstration that the teacher did


a. A chemical reaction occurs when you test for carbon dioxide by blowing through a
straw into clear limewater. The limewater becomes milky because of the formation
of calcium carbonate in the water.

Products:____________________________________________________________________
Reactants:___________________________________________________________________

4. Look at the demonstration that the teacher did with the iron (Fe) and sulfur (S). Now answer
the following questions:
a. Is the mixing of the iron and sulfur a physical change or a chemical change?
____________________________________________________________________
b. Did the properties of the iron and sulfur stay the same or did they change?
____________________________________________________________________

c. A chemical change occurred when the mixture was heated and iron sulfide (FeS)
was formed. What proof is there that a chemical reaction took place?
____________________________________________________________________

d. Write a chemical equation for the reaction.

LESSON 2
LESSON TITLE: MECHANISMS & APPLICATIONS OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS
DATE: 14/05/2024
DURATION: 1 HOUR
CONTENT & CONCEPTS:• explain fermentation, neutralisation and combustion
•investigate a neutralisation reaction.
• atoms are rearranged in a chemical reaction to form new bonds

THE MECHANISM OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS


• Everything around us is made up of tiny particles called atoms.
• Atoms are joined together in a chemical reaction with a force that is called a chemical
bond.
• During a chemical reaction atoms are conserved.
• This means that atoms are not created or destroyed. They are just rearranged.
• When reactants react with each other, bonds are broken and new bonds are formed.
• Energy, such as heat energy or electrical energy, is needed to break the bonds of the
reactants.
CHEMICAL REACTIONS
• Chemical reactions are useful.
• A neutralisation reaction is the reaction between an acid and a base. The acid and base
neutralise each other.
• A fermentation reaction takes place when the reaction between sugar and yeast produces
alcohol and carbon dioxide.
• Yeast is a micro-organism.
• A combustion reaction takes place when a fuel burns in oxygen. The fuel reacts with the
oxygen.
• The products of a combustion reaction with a fuel are always carbon dioxide and water.
• A combustion reaction releases a lot of energy.
• Substances, such as metals and non-metals, can also burn in oxygen. The product is called
a metal oxide or non-metal ooxid
CLASSWORK
1. Explain what happens to the bonds between atoms in the reactants and products in a chemical
reaction. [2 marks]

2. Methane gas (CH4) is a natural fuel gas that burns in oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and
water. The reaction can be represented by the following diagram:

Key:
Carbon atoms (C): black
Oxygen atoms (O): grey
Hydrogen atoms (H): white

a) What are the reactants of the above reaction? [2 marks]

b) What are the products of the above reaction? [2 marks]

c) Write the equation as a word equation. [2 marks]
