Reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid
Materials:

zinc filings

2 M Hydrochloric acid, HCl

spatula
Flask
Balloons (optional)
 

• Add a small amount of HCl into the flask
  Add a small amount of zinc metal to the HCl . Then we adapt a balloon on the flask and observe  the reaction.

 

The concept is the following

 

The greek students will be carrying out the above experiment and the French students will be observing.

 We need 5-10 min for implementation and observation of it.

Then the French students will ask questions  and they will get the answers from our students. This will take 5 min.

Possible questions may be

1. Why does the balloon inflate?
2. Which gas is released?
3. Can you write the reaction?
4. which reaction category does this belong to?

 

We will use Skype again for this activity.

D DAY

Hello Greece, can you hear me???

Ms Mathis in action!!!

Some more curious teachers at the back. Will they join us next year for a new project now that they can see that communicating with other EUropean classes is easy?

 

Quite shy students at first, but then it was nice exchanging with our Greek partners on Zinc...

     Greece was indeed ONLINE!!! !
