Title: Chemical Reactions
Teacher Cover Sheet: Teachers review this document prior to the lesson.Teacher Cover Sheet for Activities
Directions: General Instructions:Go through each slide. Read the information on each slide, and respond to the activities.
Throughout this slideshow, you will see yellow boxes:
These yellow boxes indicate something for you to do or complete. Be sure to either type your response or complete the task when you see one of these yellow boxes. Your teacher will be able to see your responses as you work on the assignment.

If you need more help, click the links in the slideshow that say “Need Help?” or “Sentence Starters.”
Special InstructionsSlide 14: Use the information in the table to calculate the density of each sample and enter it in the yellow boxes in the table.
Slide 15 and 16: Use the data on Slide 14 to answer the questions. Choose the correct answer from each set of bolded yellow terms by moving the pink circles over the correct choice.
Slide 17: Play the video. Describe the changes you see in the log as it burns.

Slide 38-39:
Chemical Reaction ProjectYou must have changed a lot over the last few months...maybe you even feel like a whole different person!
Some of those changes were literally chemical changes--you might have grown a little taller, and you certainly digested some food!
But you can also use the metaphor of chemical change to describe some of the emotional changes that you experienced. We’ve all had to learn new skills, deal with various different emotions, and adjust to the changes around us.
In this short project you will use what you learned this week as a metaphor to describe how you have changed since schools closed!
Create a poem, short essay, song, video, or artwork that uses the language of chemistry to describe how you have changed. Include the following elements.
-What are the “reactants” and “products” in this change?
-Would you consider yourself to be “the same substance” as you were at the beginning, or have you changed into something new? Why? In that case, would this (metaphorically) be a physical or a chemical change?
-Use at least three other vocabulary words, terms, or ideas that show what you’ve learned.
