Balancing Equations

Cookies and chemical equations have a lot in common! Using cookies as a reference, scholars learn to balance chemical equations. Pieces of the cookies represent different parts of the compounds and elements. This is the sixth installment...

Practice of balancing equations and identifying the reaction types is very useful. The first 20 have both sides of the equation provided, and the last 15 expect the students to complete the reaction as well as balancing.  There are no...

Study examples and create balanced equations from the word equations given. Great explanations are given to help the procedure. Explanations are followed by nine questions with space on the paper for answers. Great resource!

Starting with 9 questions of balancing practice, the sheet continues with 36 possible combinations of compounds that can be created from the ions given.  The supplied table should be completed with those correctly written formulas.  To...

In this chemistry instructional activity, learners practice balancing chemical equations, identifying types of chemical reactions, and analyze terminology associated with chemical equations.

In this conservation of mass worksheet, students balance 4 equations and identify the products, the reactants and the kind of reaction. Students then answer 5 questions about the conservation of mass.

This worksheet calls students to practice balancing a variety of chemical equations. Additionally, students determine the number of atoms for each element and add coefficients to balance each equation. This would be a great in-class...

Make the microscopic world of chemical reactions come to life. An engaging video demonstrates a methane-oxygen reaction. Learners see the reaction take place and observe the chemical equation being balanced. 

Learners practice balancing chemical equations using the trial and error method. In this balancing equations lesson plan, students use paper squares labeled with specific atoms to balance 5 given chemical equations.

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...
