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.
