Overview

This lesson is an activity using molecular model kits to balance chemical reactions. Students will build reactants, then disassemble the reactants to build products. Students are also asked to draw models of the overall balanced reactions on their handouts. After students understand balancing they will be provided with basic notes on a preferred element order to balance equations.
