Year 8 Modelling Reactions

During the unit of ‘Reactions’, our Year 8 students have been learning about combustion. After learning about the products of combustion and the efficiency of different fuels through practical investigation, the students could model the reactants and products of combustion using Molymod kits.

The girls’ model of the balanced equation for the complete combustion of Methane:

The students were also able to demonstrate the formation of the carbon deposits around poorly ventilated gas fires and boilers.
