LESSON PLAN
CHAPTER-1: CHEMICAL REACTIONS AND EQUATIONS
Teachers' activity Introduction: Teacher will introduce the topic by asking various questions
from previous knowledge:
Analytical skills (scrutinizing an observation): To identify physical
and chemical changes. Example-Paper is torn or Paper is burnt, ice
is melting or iron nail is kept exposed to moist air.
Evidence-based active-learning instructional strategies:
Problem solving (investigating and applying established principles
to justify an observation)
1
Example- Activity:-Burning of a magnesium ribbon in air and collection of
magnesium oxide in a watch-glass.
Concept insight: Always remember that magnesium being a reactive metal will
react with oxygen if kept in open. So, it has to be cleaned before it is burned in
air.
Activity:-Formation of hydrogen gas by the action of dilute hydrochloric acid on
zinc.
Concept insight: The key to this answer is to remember that metals react with
hydrochloric acid to form respective metal chlorides and liberate hydrogen gas.
Critical thinking and collaboration (Competitive evaluation of given
information)
Example- To make a chemical equation more informative, the physical states of
the reactants and products are mentioned along with their chemical formulae
from given information of different activities.
Concept insight: First convert the word equation into skeletal equation with
state and then balance the different atoms on both sides of the equation.
The ability to understand complex concepts (Inspecting and analyzing
reasons for variation in established principles);Types of chemical
reactions:
Example- Combination and decomposition reactions: Chemical reactions
involve the breaking and making of bonds between atoms to produce new
substances and balancing equations with the help of law of conservation of
mass
Concept insight: Remember that a chemical equation should be balanced to
follow the Law of conservation of mass.
Recapitulation (working effectively with others):
Example-Discuss brain storming questions in class in group.

Assignments, each student should bring NCERT Book and tries to be independent
Homework at the work as well as be under the teacher’s guidance.
Guided practice followed by Independent Practice ( Question
Bank):
On completion of the chapter, students will be answer the following
revision questions:
Q.1.Why should a magnesium ribbon be cleaned before burning in air?
Q.2. Write a balanced chemical equation with state symbols for the
reactions: Sodium hydroxide solution (in water) reacts with hydrochloric
acid solution (in water) to produce sodium chloride solution and water.
Q.3.Take a few zinc granules in a conical flask or a test tube and add dilute
hydrochloric acid or sulphuric acid to this.
(a)Do you observe anything happening around the zinc granules?
(b)Touch the conical flask or test tube. Is there any change in its
temperature?
Q.4.Take a small amount of calcium oxide or quick lime in a beaker, slowly
add water to this and touch the beaker.
(a)Do you feel any change in temperature?
(b) Write the balanced chemical equation with physical state.
Q.5.Take about 2 g silver chloride in a china dish and Place this china dish in
sunlight for some time.
(a)Observe the colour of the silver chloride after some time
(b).Name type of the reaction.
Q.6.Take about 2 g barium hydroxide in a test tube. Add 1 g of ammonium
chloride and mix with the help of a glass rod. Touch the bottom of the test
tube with your palm.
(a)What do you feel?
(b)Is this an exothermic or endothermic reaction?
Homework: The students, with the help of the teacher, will solve the
questions from NCERT back exercise in their notebook.
