Have each student access the internet using a computer and go to the designated web page that is given on the Activity Series Online Lab.  This web site is also linked to the West Irondequoit High School – Media Center Web Site (under chemistry sites).  The teacher should model the use of the web site to get the students started.  The students can work through the lab by following the directions and collecting the data as they go.

 

Assessment:

The Activity Series Online Lab is collected and graded to check for understanding of an activity series.  The use of an activity series will also be assessed on the unit exam.
