Chemical Reactions Grades 5-6 Activity Bundle


Reactions, Math, and Real Heat Packs
Physical vs. Chemical Reaction Game
Students use custom game cards to classify reactions as physical or chemical, building vocabulary and conceptual understanding through competitive play that keeps the entire group engaged.
Multiplication and Chemistry
Students practice multiplication fluency while exploring chemical properties, connecting math skills to science concepts in an activity that serves both content areas simultaneously.
Heat Pack Engineering
Students combine iron filings, salt, sand, and water in plastic bags to create working heat packs, observing an exothermic reaction in real time and measuring temperature change.
Observable Evidence of Reactions
Every activity produces visible, measurable results—color changes with baking soda and grape juice indicators, temperature rise in heat packs—giving students concrete evidence of chemical change.
What Students Will Do
- Play a competitive game to classify physical vs. chemical reactions
- Build chemistry vocabulary through card-based challenges
- Practice multiplication fluency in a chemistry context
- Observe chemical indicators using baking soda and grape juice
- Engineer working heat packs with iron filings, salt, and sand
- Measure temperature change to document exothermic reactions
