It's the limiting reactant time of the year! One of the best tips is to have students literally circle the new products formed! Exclamation point b/c that simple step clearly lays out how many products are formed, what’s in excess & limiting.

@KatyDornbos Each has their own to color code & write charges if they want to use during class & w/homework. For tests, even though there are digital ones in their Google forms, I pass out blank half-sized periodic tables they can brain dump & return in 2 piles (blank or recycled)

I recently found this sweet particle diagram sim to pair with your demo and I couldn’t wait to share.

Visit https://t.co/f5vgth1wQc for this one & more.

What do you think? Do you have any favorite JavaLabs? I’d love to hear & share on!

Have you ever put a charged balloon next to a thin stream of water to make it bend?

It’s a great demo of the polarity of water and what it means for a molecule to be polar at the macroscopic level.

From middle school to college, from living to physical science, it’s about 𝑏𝑎𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 😎

Dare I say this free balancing chemical equations has a nice 𝑏𝑎𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 of particle diagrams, subscript, and atom counting in it? 🙃

Because it does, in an immediate feedback, self-checking way ☺️

Are you formula & naming whiteboarded-out like me?

Ion dice make for an easy break and practice.

What else could you use them for?

[ChemKate | Chemistry Teacher @ChemKateCk]

@allthisscience Hilarious! Consult the periodic table 😄
