The Electrochemical Series: Small Group Learning by Innovating Science (Materials for 5 Groups of Students)

• This kit introduces students to the concept of electrode potentials and redox reactions
• Students will perform a series of experiments, studying the generation of an electrical potential difference between an electrode and a solution
• Concepts covered include the electrochemical series, redox reactions, and electrode potential
• This kit contains enough material for 5 groups of students
• Teacher's manual and student study guide copymasters are included

Students will study electrochemical series. The electrochemical series is built up by arranging various redox equilibria in order of their standard electrode potentials (redox potentials). When a strip of metal (an electrode) is placed in water the metal has a tendency to go into solution as ions with a simultaneous build up of electrons on the metal strip.
