Chemical Reactions
Chemical Reactions
In this unit, students will research, explore, evaluate and communicate information to support the Law of Conservation of Matter. They will also examine the types of chemical reactions.
Do NOT try the reactions shown in the video at home.

SPS3 Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to support the Law of Conservation of Matter.
SPS3.a Plan and carry out investigations to generate evidence supporting the claim that mass is conserved during a chemical reaction. (Clarification statement: Limited to synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, and double replacement reactions.)
I can state the law of conservation of mass. (Knowledge)
I can differentiate and give examples of different types of chemical reactions. (Knowledge)
I can explain that the number of atoms present in a chemical reaction directly corresponds to the overall mass of the reaction. (Knowledge)
I can evaluate evidence to determine whether or not mass is conserved during a chemical reaction. (Reasoning)
I can predict relative amounts of atoms produced from a chemical reaction based on the Law of Conservation of Mass. (Reasoning)
I can use a model to explain that the total number of atoms is conserved during a chemical reaction. (Skill)
I can plan and carry out investigations to generate evidence supporting the claim that mass is conserved during a chemical reaction. (Skill)
I can communicate data from an investigation to provide evidence supporting the claim that mass is conserved during a chemical reaction. (Product)
SPS3.b Develop and use a model of a chemical equation to illustrate how the total number of atoms is conserved during a chemical reaction. (Clarification statement: Limited to chemical equations that include binary ionic and covalent compounds and will not include equations containing polyatomic ions.)
I can explain that the total number of atoms is conserved during a chemical reaction. (Knowledge)
I can balance chemical equations to show that mass is conserved. (Knowledge)
I can determine whether or not a chemical equation is balanced and relate this to the conservation of mass. (Reasoning)
I can use a model to explain that the total number of atoms is conserved during a chemical reaction. (Skill)
I can balance chemical equations to show that mass is conserved. (Skill)
I can develop and use a model of a chemical equation to illustrate how the total number of atoms is conserved during a chemical reaction. (Product)
