Balancing Chemical Equations

Have you been searching for environmentally friendly chemistry experiments to use in your high school laboratory? This stoichiometry experiment replaces a conventional aluminum to alum lab by using sodium carbonate and calcium chloride...

Using simple materials, an informative instructional activity demonstrates the Law of Conservation of Matter and explains how to balance chemical equations. Young chemists perform experiments, analyze reactions, and balance chemical...

Students observe how to balance chemical equations and explore how to write formulas.  In this chemistry lesson plan students balance chemical equations and visualize the concept by observing an experiment using one of the equations. 

If you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the precipitate! Young chemists learn about single and double displacement reactions including precipitation reactions, neutralization reactions, and gas forming reactions. They perform...

Sal introduces students of chemistry to "Stoichiometry," which is the calculation of measureable relationships of the reactants and products in a chemical reaction. Sal sets up a balanced chemical equation and then, using the Periodic...

An informative video segment describes how to balance chemical equations. It ensures pupils will obey the laws of conservation of mass and shares tips to assist young chemists who may need additional help to ensure a more simplistic way...

Here is the second instructional activity in a series of seven that includes why we must balance chemical equations and includes many practice problems that require pupils to solve for the coefficients. 

High schoolers conduct an experiment using the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen. After pairs balance the chemical equation for making water, they mix different ratios of hydrogen and oxygen in a chemical reaction. Classmates...

Just like the old saying goes, "What goes in must come out." This simulation allows pupils to balance chemical equations. The introduction gives three examples before scholars switch to game mode, pick their level, and continue to...

Heat things up in your high school chemistry class with a instructional video on combustion reactions. Starting of with a brief explanation of combustion and the different chemicals involved, this resource walks step by step through the...
