Types of Chemical Reactions: Simple Classifications
Classifying simple chemical reactions such as combination, decomposition, and displacement reactions.
Key Questions
- Classify common chemical reactions into basic types (e.g., combination, decomposition).
- Predict the products of simple combination and decomposition reactions.
- Explain how different types of reactions rearrange atoms to form new substances.

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerThematic Unit
Organize a multi-week unit around a central theme or essential question that cuts across topics, texts, and disciplines, helping students see connections and build deeper understanding.
rubricSingle-Point Rubric
Build a single-point rubric that defines only the "meets standard" level, leaving space for teachers to document what exceeded and what fell short. Simple to create, easy for students to understand.
