Hi,
I am a new teacher with a lack of science resources. As a result, I am in the process of storing helpful resource materials.
At the moment, I am in the process of teaching chemical reactions with my 9th graders. I was hope someone would have a challenging, but engaging lab and lab report on file for chemical reaction, which they could share with me. Is so it would be greatly appreciated.

Sonja may be a new teacher but she is never without something fun and exciting for her 9th graders to do in Physical Science class. She always has a cool demo to share and an easy, fun activity for whatever topic she is covering. Any resources you share with her will be put to good use! And then she will share them with me to use with my one Physical Science class.

Hi Sonja,
Here is a fun computer simulation on balancing chemical reactions.
http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/balancing-chemical-equations
and an interesting one (build a sandwich) on reactants, products, and left overs
http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/reactants-products-and-leftovers
Search the site and look at some of the teacher pdf's - you may find something of use for your classroom :}

Thanks everyone
I got some really cool demos and labs for stoichiometry, which I plan to uses in the near future.
Tina... After I give them a try I will give you a copy of the labs, which worked the best.
Take care

Creating "gas heads" with latex gloves, baking soda and vinegar is a good visual for a lesson with concepts of edothermic and exothermic reactions. Students with latex allergies can act as observer/notetakers. It works best when the baking soda is spooned into the thumb space and closed off with a twist tie before adding 1/2 teaspoon of vinegar to each of the finger spaces. Tie the wrist opening in a knot. Remove the twist tie from the thumb space. Hold the knot tightly in one hand, and shake vigorously. Watches with second hands are helpful for recording time of expansion, deflation. A rating scale allows measurement for tactile temperature: cool, cold, neutral, warm, hot. Small facial features drawn on the gloves in the beginning can be measured for size pre and post expansion.

Here is a good type of reactions lab.
