● I can provide evidence and describe how chemical reactions regroup atoms into different molecules with
● Students will use a pHet simulation to model how a chemical reaction can regroup atoms into different molecules and that matter must be conserved in the process. ● Create your own sandwich and then see how many sandwiches you can make with different amounts of ingredients. Do the same with chemical reactions. See how many products reactants. Play a game to test your understanding of reactants, products and leftovers. Can you get a perfect score on each level? you can make with different amounts of
