Unit 1: Alchemy
Big Idea: Physical and chemical properties can be used to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred.
Essential Question: How can you explain things you cannot see?
Scenario: You are a chemist working as a consultant to explain the chemistry behind a variety of observed phenomena that are often described as “magic”.

Section 5: Building with Matter
Learning Goal #2: Develop and use a model to describe how the total number of atoms does not change in a chemical reaction and thus mass is conserved. (Baking soda and vinegar in a closed system vs. open system)
BrainPop: Law of Conservation of Mass
Learning Goal #3: Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred. (Colored Carnation, Blue and Silver)
