A SEMI-DETAILED LESSON PLAN IN GENERAL SCIENCE

By: Carylle Mae R. Geraldizo

I. OBJECTIVES
At the end of a 15-minute period the students will be able to:
 Identify and describe the different types of chemical reactions;
 Perform an experiment about chemical reactions;
 Relate the types of chemical reaction in everyday lives.

II. SUBJECT MATTER

A. Topic: Types of Chemical Reaction
B. References
C. Materials:
PowerPoint Presentation, Hydrogen Peroxide, yeast, food coloring, dish soap
and cup.
D. Ideas
A chemical reactions is in which the bonds are broken within reactant
molecules, and new bonds are formed within product molecules in order to form
a new substance.
Enzyme – catalase; catalyzes/speeds up the reaction.
Compounds – consists of two or more different elements.
E. Skills
Critical Thinking, listening, performing. Identifying, describing.

Teacher’s Activity Learner’s Activity

A. Preliminary Activities
1. Prayer
2. Greetings
3. Checking of Attendance
(Class secretary report of class
attendance)
4. Checking of Assignment (students will submit their assignments)
5. Review of the past lesson
What was our topic last meeting? The previous lesson was all about the
Physical and Chemical Change.

As a review, What is the difference Physical Change – is a change in physical

between Physical and Chemical state of matter without undergoing change in
Change? chemical composition.
Chemical Change – is a change in the
chemical properties or composition in matter
resulting in the formation of at least one new
substance.

6. Motivation
Teacher will show pictures and let the
student guess two pics one word.
What would you react if you are
angry?
What would you react if you are
happy?
Because even people will react
depending on what they feel, we have
different reactions based on what we
feel. Just like chemicals it also have
different reactions depending of what
they going through.

B. Lesson Proper

Types of Chemical Reactions

(Define what is Chemical reaction. Before

discussing all about the types of chemical
reactions, the teacher should first properly
define what chemical reaction is?)

What is Chemical Reaction? A chemical reactions is in which the bonds

are broken within reactant molecules, and
new bonds are formed within product
molecules in order to form a new substance.

5 Major Types of Chemical Reactions

 Synthesis Reaction
 Decomposition reaction
 Combustion Reaction
 Single Replacement
 Double Replacement

Synthesis / Combination Reaction

 Two or more reactants combine to C + O2 → CO2
make it one product. H2 + O2 → H2O
Na + Cl2 → NaCl
General Formula
A + B → AB

Decomposition Reaction
 A single reactant breaks down to form NaCl → Na +Cl2
NaNO3 → Na + N2 + O2
two or more product.
General Formula
AB → A + B

Combustion Reaction C4H10 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

 A single element or compound C3H3OH + O2 → CO2 + H2O
combines with oxygen gas releasing
energy. This rapid oxidation is called
burning.
General Formula
Cx Hy (Oz) + O2 → CO2 + H2O

Single Replacement Fe + CuCl2 → Cu + FeCl2

 A single element replaces a similar Cu + AgNO3 → Ag + Cu(NO3)2
element of an adjacent reactant
compound.
General Formula
A + BC → B + AC

Double Replacement BaCl2 + Na2SO4 → BaSO4 + NaCl

 Two ionic compounds exchange ions,
producing two new ionic compounds.
General Formula
A+B- + C+D- → A+D- + C+B-
 Teacher’s Activity Learner’s Activity

 Generalization
Ask the class about what they have
learned for the day.

 Application
Perform an experiment about
Decomposition reaction

Elephant Toothpaste
Materials:
- Yeast
- Dish washing soap
- Hydrogen peroxide
- Warm water
- Plastic bottle
- Food coloring

What to do:

- Prepare yeast solution by adding dry
yeast to warm water and wait a few
minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Pour 2 inches of hydrogen peroxide
into the bottle.
- Place bottle on baking sheet.
- Squeeze in a good squirt of dish
soap.
- Pour in yeast solution (3
tablespoons).
The yeast contains an enzyme called
Catalase that breaks down hydrogen
peroxide (H2O2) into oxygen gas and water.
The oxygen gas gets trapped by the soap,
and you get a large foamy solution that
squirts out of the top of the bottle!

III. Evaluation
Instruction: Identify the types of chemical reactions.
1. Mg + AlCl → Al + MgCl2
2. C8H18 + O2 → H20 + CO2
3. MgCl → Mg + Cl2
4. Mg + O2 → MgO
5. AgNO3 + NaCl → AgCl + NaNO3
