Exploring Rates of Reaction with Glow Sticks!

2:06Practical demonstrationCore

This demonstration shows Exploring Rates of Reaction with Glow Sticks! and connects the observations to Concentration and reaction rate and Temperature and reaction rate. It helps students predict the effect of concentration, temperature, surface area and catalysts and explain rate changes using collision theory.
