Chemical Equations

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Allow the class to play the role of "mind reader" as they predict the products of single and double displacement reactions. They also categorize reactions according to each type and balance chemical equations using the conservation of matter principle. This is the fourth lesson in an 8-part series.
