Contextual factors/learner characteristics: Students have computers; projector available; juniors &
seniors; no SPED;
Standards: PS1-7 Use mathematical representations to support the claim that atoms, and therefore mass,
are conserved during a chemical reaction.
Materials and Resources needed: computer, projector, worksheets, clicker, answer keys , monopoly
pieces, colors
The Lesson review synthesis, decomposition, and single replacement reactions; explain double
replacement and composition reactions; activity stations
1. Introduction (Engage) (Script what you plan to say include how you plan to get attention,
access prior knowledge, assess knowledge, create a need to know and share the objective)

- Go over remaining problems from yesterdays worksheet
What you Tell what me what you are doing, what you will say or ask.
are doing / If you are asking a question put in acceptable student responses.
Methodolog Tell me what the students are doing. This is the area for your script.

Were going to review the three types of reactions we focused on yesterday.
Who can tell me what they are?
synthesis, decomposition, single replacement
Good! What happens in a synthesis reaction?
a new compound is formed
Thats right. What happens in a decomposition reaction?
a compound is broken down
Good. How about in a single replacement reaction?
one part of the compound is subbed out
Thats the gist of it.
Now were going to watch a video that really explains balancing equations
well so you are prepared for the stations we will be doing shortly.

Now you guys are going to get some hands-on practice with balancing and
identifying these reactions. I have 5 stations set up around the room:
Station 1: Exploring balancing equations
Station 2: balancing board game
Station 3: classifying reactions
Station 4: balancing & classifying reactions
Station 5: analogy cartoons
Each station has a set of directions, so you need to read those before you start.
Break up into even numbered groups (2 or 4). You may work as a team at each
station except when playing the board game.
Everybody pick a different station to start out with and ask questions if
something is not clear. When you are finished at your station, hand me your
worksheet and move on to another one. Only visit each station once.
3. (continue your actors script) Closure (X min) (A good closure includes allowing students to
gage if they met the lesson objectives, reviewing the lesson objectives, and possibly hinting about
what is to come.)
Now that everyone is finished, who is confident that they know all 5 types of reactions? Raise your
hands. Good! Who feels more comfortable balancing equations? (raise hands)
You guys have done an awesome job the last couple days and I am impressed with your quick
learning.
Running long: stop stations before all are completed and wrap up

likely did not create this lesson from scratch?)
