Summary
This collection of lessons covers the fundamental principles and calculations involved in chemical reactions using stoichiometry. It helps students consider the relationship that exist between reactants and products through interactive demonstrations, videos, simulations, and hands-on mole to mole and gram to gram activities. Students also learn how to calculate the accuracy of experiments by calculating the percent yield between there theoretical versus accurate yield. Lastly, students will explore professions that use percentage yield to ensure the sustainability of viable products.Resources
This is part 1 of a 3 part lesson. In this lesson, students learn the role of the balanced chemical equation in establishing the stoichiometric relationship between different substances involved in a chemical reaction. This lesson encourages students to reflect on how the coefficients in the balanced... Read more »
