5min Balancing Chem. RXN SMA Instructions. Teacher outlines steps and difference between Solo (Google Slide Animations) and Pair (Stop Motion Studio) SMA.
20-25min Balancing Chem. RXN SMA. Students make the parts for the animation and use those parts to show the steps of balancing a chemical reaction. For RXN #1 (___H2O + ___O2 --> ___H202); RXN #2 (___N2 + ___H2 --> ___NH3); and RXN #3 ( ___C3H8 + ___O2 —> ___CO2 + ___H20) the steps below are shown.
1. Draw/Show Atoms in Molecules
2. Count the Atoms (Make it obvious what you are counting.)
3. Add Molecule(s) to one side.
4. Count the Atoms (Make it obvious what you are counting.)
(Repeat step 3 & 4 till everything is balanced.)
5. Fill in the blanks of the formula.
