Tenth graders learn to classify chemical reactions into five major types — synthesis, decomposition, combustion, single replacement, and double replacement — recognizing patterns that let them predict products.
Students will be able to…
Millions of chemical reactions happen — but nearly all fit into just a few patterns. What are the main types of reactions, and how can spotting the pattern help you predict what forms?
Project this and match each reaction type to its pattern — tap the type, then tap its description.
Tap any phase to open the teacher moves and student actions.
Millions of reactions — but only a few patterns. What are they?
Students investigate.

Aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (High School Physical Science / Chemistry).
Construct and revise an explanation for the outcome of a reaction based on patterns.
Use mathematical representations to show mass is conserved.
Develop a model to explain energy change in reactions.

Preview the three formative checks. Tap “Sample answer” to see what mastery looks like — hide them before you print for students.
Have students use an activity series to predict whether a single-replacement reaction will occur and what products form. A printable reaction-types sheet is in the Science library.
Tap a card to flip it, then rate whether you knew it. Built from this lesson’s vocabulary.
A quick self-check with instant feedback, drawn from this lesson’s key terms.
