Detailed Lesson Plan in Chemistry 10

I. OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:

1. Enumerate the factors affecting rates of chemical reactions.

2. Explain how each factor affects the rate of chemical reactions; and
3. Relate the value of working for our goals in life to the lesson.

II. SUBJECT MATTER:

a. TOPIC: Factors Affecting Chemical Reactions
b. REFERENCES:
c. VALUES INTEGRATION: being cooperative, daring to try, scientific thinking
d. Time Frame: 1 hour
e. SCIENCE CONCEPTS:
Chemical reaction rates can differ when different factors are present.
Chemical reaction rates are described as the use of reactants or production
of products over time. There are factors that affect reaction rates including
concentration. Temperature, surface area and catalysts.
III. STRATEGY:

Teacher’s activity Student’s activity

a. Preparatory activity
Prayer
Greetings
Checking of attendance

b. ELICIT

We learned from the past lessons that a

chemical system either absorb or release
energy. When do we say that an energy is
released/absorbed in a chemical system?

c. ENGAGE
 How fast can a reaction go?

We say some are very fast; others are very

slow. There are many reasons that may
affect rates of reaction.

Show a picture of Foods kept in the freezer

and food left outside and let the students
identify it.
Why do you think we keep most foods in the
refrigerator?

d. Pre-Laboratory activity
Divide the students into groups of five.
Each group has its own leader, secretary,
time-keeper, presenter, and material
manager.
Discuss the objectives and procedure of the
activities. Further, review safety procedures
in the conduct of the experiment.

Let the students perform the activity and

answer the guide questions. Do maximum
supervision while the students perform the
group activity.

e. EXPLORE
Activity: Investigating factors affecting the
rate pf chemical reactions.

STATION 1: TEMPERATURE
Investigate the effect temperature will have
on the rate of the reaction.
1. In cup A with ice water, add ½ tablet of
anti-acid tablet.
2. In cup B with hot water, add ½ tablet of
anti-acid tablet.
3. Observe which reaction is the quickest.

STATTION 2: SURFACE AREA

STATION 3: CONCENTRATION
Investigate the effect concentration on the
rate of a reaction. Use different
concentrations of vinegar and baking soda
for these reactions.
1. Put 3 ml of pure vinegar in a cup and
place a spoonful of baking soda.
2. In another cup, mix 1.5 ml of pure
vinegar with 1.5 ml of water and add
a spoonful of baking soda.
3. Observe what will happen and record
your observation.

STATION 4: CATALYSTS
Investigate the effect OF CATALYSTS on
the rate of a reaction. Use the catalyst
provided with the vinegar and baking soda
for this reaction.
1. In a small plastic bottle, use pure
vinegar and place a teaspoon of baking
soda then cover the bottles mouth with
a balloon.
