Condensation Polymerization
Learning Goals
I can use the term polymerization correctly
I can explain the process of condensation polymerization reactions
I can explain the difference between addition polymerization and condensation polymerization reactions
LESSON OVERVIEW (SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS: B2.1, B2.4, B3.4)
Lesson Hook:
Show the following video on making nylon as an example of a condensation polymerization reaction. Before showing the video instruct students to listen out for the reactants used in this demo. Debrief with the class and let students know that today we will be learning about the discovery of the nylon fiber and how it was formed from a condensation polymerization reaction. This experiment can also be performed in class as a demo and have students fill out a POE chart: predict, observe, and explain what happened.
