Description
Students engage in sense-making through a series of investigations, readings, and class discussions to obtain data and information on the chemical reactions used by batteries to store and supply energy to devices. Through these experiences, students wonder: Why have lithium-based batteries gained widespread use in electronics over other types of batteries? Includes enough materials for 8 lab groups.
Product Details
The Lithium-Based Batteries Kit was awarded the NGSS Design Badge.

Learning Objectives
- Investigate reactions between metals and dissolved metal salts and develop a model metal activity series.
- Identify patterns in metal reactivity to make a claim about which 3 metals would make the best battery when paired with a lithium electrode.
- Develop and revise a model for the chemical reactions, and the flow of energy within a battery system.
Prerequisite Knowledge and Skills
Students should be familiar with the organization of the periodic table and the patterns found within, properties of matter, balancing chemical equations, single replacement reactions, and parts of an electrochemical cell. For students who may need more help with electrochemistry, digital resources have been provided.
