There are four ways to increase rate of reaction. You will do some simple home experiments to illustrate some of these points

 Read the following notes

Assignment : Do the study questions, put your name on it and photograph it.   Answer key is here.

5 marks for finishing the questions and placing your frog on your paper.

criteria:

5 marks, you write your name on every sheet and you answered all questions, including the multiple choice. 

4- you completed almost everything.  your name is not on every sheet

0-3 - it is a good start, but incomplete


KITCHEN EXPERIMENTS: 10 marks

For the other ways to increase a rate of reaction, I would like you to try the following home kitchen experiments and write your observations on a separate piece of paper.  Your frog must be on your paper:

1. TEATIME: put a  tea bag in cold water and another tea bag of the same type in boiling water.  Wait 10 minutes.  Observe the diffusion that takes place. Place your frog beside the boiling water and cold water and take a picture.  Write your observations. Explain how this relates to the rates of reaction.  If you don't have tea, you may use instant coffee or hot chocolate powder.

2. VINEGAR AND BAKING SODA: put some full strength vinegar in a glass ( A )and a teaspoon of vinegar in another glass (B) .  Fill glass B with WATER so it has the same amount of liquid as glass A.   Glass A has full strength vinegar, glass B has dilute vinegar. 

Now add a tablespoon of baking soda to glass B and glass A. Observe what happens. Take a picture and make sure your frog is in the pic. Explain how this relates to the rates of reaction. 

3.  WHAT MELTS FASTER, A BIG BALL OF SNOW, or 3 snowballs that are the same volume as your big ball of snow? . If there is no more snow, do the same experiment with an ice cube or crushed ice. Take a picture and make sure your frog is in the pic. Explain how this relates to the rates of reaction.  

8-10 marks for photographing your experiment with your frog in the picture AND for clearly explaining how it relates to rates of reaction. 

5-7 marks   for photographing your experiment with your frog in the picture AND for explaining how it relates to rates of reaction

0-4 marks. you included a photo but it doesn't have your frog in either the photo or the explanation
