Law of Conservation of Mass

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Extremely short, this video is a computer animation of a double-pan balance with zinc and sulfur atoms on each side. The synthesis reaction between the two occurs, with the new zinc sulfide molecules. The balance is still balanced. This would be best used as part of a homework assignment; have your young chemists view it along with other video clips or the completion of a related worksheet.
