Wed., Nov. 19th, 2008: Introduction to Balancing Equations

BIG IDEA: Matter cannot be created or destroyed, only recombined. Balancing equations is one way to demonstrate this idea.

1. Warm-up: draw the Lewis dot and structural formula for CO2 and H2O.
2. Review the warm-up.
4. Check results from Lab #7; answer questions.
5. Debrief Lab #7: Organic Molecules in Acids and Bases
6. Introduction to Balancing Equations: Demonstration of counting atoms and simple balancing equations. Counting Atoms Worksheet.
7. Counting Atoms: Practice with balancing equations.

Homework: Counting Atoms Homework worksheet
