Chemical Reactions FAQ's
Q: Is the pre-mission lesson plan necessary for the e-Lab?

A: It is highly recommended that you conduct the pre-e-Lab lesson plans so that students receive the most they can out of the e-lab, building upon their prior knowledge of chemical reactions.  If the pre-lab lesson cannot be completed prior to the e-lab, at least some type of introduction to signs of a chemical reaction should occur in class.

Q:  If I have a class size of 32, can I still conduct an e-Lab with all of my class involved?

A:  Yes, the additional students could be distributed to teams; however if there are more than 35 students we would ask that you separate the students into two e-Labs so that everyone can enjoy the full experience.

Q: Do all students require the printable materials for the e-Lab?

A: Yes.  All students require the manditory lab journal for the actual e-Lab. The Types of Reactions page and the Hints and Help will be used as quick reference during the session but are not manditory.
