Balancing Chemical Equations
In-Booth Demonstration
Chemistry
Middle/High School
Use models to help balance chemical equations and understand the law of conservation of mass. Minimize students’ misconceptions about balancing equations by helping them to visualize the number of atoms participating in each side of a chemical reaction. This activity supports 3-dimensional learning and builds toward the following:
- NGSS Science and Engineering Practice: Developing and using models
- NGSS Core Idea: Physical Science 1: Matter and its interactions
