Metals that react with water

This worksheet accompanies the alkali metals reacting with water teacher demonstration. Under no circumstances is this a student practical (just covering myself there), and should only be carried out by teachers who are fully conversant with risk control measures required for the activity . I usually do this after the Calcium experiment (activity worksheet also available from me on TES) to build on and complete the sub-topic of metal reactivity. You don’t have to have a worksheet with this experiment, as it is an exciting and highly engaging activity, but it helps to ensure that the key learning objectives of how the alkali metals react with water are focused on .
