Chemical Reactions

I created this writing and balancing chemical equations foldable for my physical science students to complete and glue in their interactive notebooks. We completed this after our basic balancing equations foldable. After we had the hang of balancing chemical equations, I had them translate the equations from words to symbols and then balance them. Free …

I created this balancing equations foldable for my physical science classes. We began our chemical reactions unit in physical science by balancing chemical equations.   When I took chemistry in high school, I ADORED balancing equations.  Each problem was like a mini-puzzle.  And, I love puzzles! I put a circle in front of each reactant …

I created this predicting products review game to give my physical science students some much needed practice predicting the products of chemical reactions. We combined this review with a bit of basketball to make a fun review game. My physical science students have been working on predicting products of reactions.  For our first day of …

Today, I want to share a poster I recently made for my physical science class.  We’ve been writing chemical reactions, and my students need a bit of a reminder about which elements exist diatomically.  When I took chemistry in high school, my teacher taught us the BrINClHOF mnemonic device.  I guess it’s catchy because it’s …

I created this classifying types of reactions card sort activity for my physical science students. I thought I should share it with you as well! My physical science students are in the midst of their chemical reactions unit.  So far, we’ve balanced chemical equations and translated equations in words to symbols (and balanced them, too). …
