LESSON OUTLINE
5min< Students complete the Do Now by answering in their notebooks.
5min> Students working in pairs write incomplete formulas on the front and back of 11x17 paper (glue two 11 x 8.5 sheets together at the edge).
15min Students working in pairs balance the first formula (_CH3OH + _O2 —› _CO2 + _H2O) or the second formal (_C2H5OH + _O2 —› _CO2 + _H2O) together using the paper molecules. Glue molecules and correct the formula. Indicate the number of Carbons, Oxygen, and Hydrogens before and after the reaction. Add color (all O’s the same color, etc
10min UpCycle Project Intro.

LESSON OUTLINE
5min< Students complete the Do Now.
5min Chemical Reactions SMA Instructions. Teacher outlines steps and difference between Solo (Google Slide Animations) and Pair (Stop Motion Studio) SMA.
25-30min Chemical Reactions SMA. Students make the parts for the animation and use those parts to show the steps of a chemical reactions (1. Molecules Breaking Apart, 2. Atoms Rearrange, and 3. New Molecules Form). Chemical Reactions: [A] 2 H2 + O2 turning into 2 H2O; [B] 2 NH3 turning into N2 + 3 H2; and [c] 2 NOH + H2 turning into N2 + 2 H2O. (Students animating using Google Slides work independently.)
