This learning resource examines various aspects of chemical reactions, with a focus on the factors influencing reaction rates, such as temperature, concentration, particle size, and catalysts. It explores the environmental consequences of acid rain and connects these concepts to practical applications in food preservation techniques. The lesson also includes a financial literacy component that encourages students to think about marketing their outputs.
Objective
1. Describe the effects of acid rain and its causes.
2. Explain the factors affecting the rate of chemical reactions (temperature, concentration, particle size/surface area, catalysts).
3. Conduct laboratory experiments to observe the factors that influence chemical reaction rates.
4. Identify the chemical reactions involved in different methods of food preservation.
5. Apply financial literacy strategies by linking scientific knowledge to marketability.
