Description

Initiate interest in polymer chemistry with this teacher-led, student-engaged demonstration kit. Students first predict what will happen during the demo based on their previous knowledge, and then observe the demo's dramatic polymerization reaction form a rigid foam. Next, they model or illustrate the process of polymerization and answer big-picture questions that more deeply probe the reaction mechanism. This demo requires approximately 15 min and materials are sufficient for up to 10 demos.

  • Introduce or reinforce concepts of polymer chemistry
  • Make particulate level explanations of polymerization
  • Examine the reaction mechanism and extend observations to real-world scenarios
Initiate interest in polymer chemistry with this teacher-led, student-engaged demonstration kit. Students first predict what will happen during the demo based on previous knowledge and observe the dramatic polymerization reaction between 2 colorless, viscous liquids. After observing the rigid foam formed from the reaction, they then model or illustrate the process of polymerization and answer big-picture questions that more deeply probe the reaction mechanism. Real-world applications and uses for different types of polymers are discussed. This demo requires approximately 15 min and materials are sufficient for up to 10 demos.

NOTE: Instructions for this kit are based on the predict, observe, explain (POE) model. POE is primarily used in science classes. Specifically, POE has optimal effects when paired with demonstrations that allow students to make and record observations and then follow those observations with explanations.
