Molecules in Motion · Physical Science
Chemical Reactions and Conservation
Students observe how atoms rearrange to form new substances and prove that mass is conserved during these changes.
Key Questions
- 1How can we tell if a new substance has been formed during a reaction?
- 2Where do the atoms go when a log burns and seemingly disappears?
- 3What causes some reactions to release heat while others absorb it?
