Balancing Equations Web Quest
Today, we are going to perform a web quest to learn more about balancing equations. After completion of the web quest, you will submit written materials including balanced equations to demonstrate your mastery of the material.
First, visit http://web.jjay.cuny.edu/%7Eacarpi/NSC/6-react.htm
and read and work problems in the first section down to the mole.
Second, visit http://funbasedlearning.com/chemistry/chembalancer/default.htm
where you'll perform the ChemBalancer Game and provide answers on your hard copy to turn in. For the online version, you must put a '1' if that is the applicable coefficient.
Third, go to http://commercial-archive.com/node/133770 and play the movie to watch a cool chemical reaction in progress.
Fourth, see http://www.syvum.com/cgi/online/mult.cgi/squizzes/chem/react1.tdf?0 and work three of the 2 question quizzes.
Fifth, go to http://www.marymount.k12.ny.us/marynet/stwbwk05/05hchemistry.html and watch the animations of various types of reactions.
Sixth, visit http://www.syvum.com/cgi/online/fillin.cgi/squizzes/chem/baleq2.tdf?0. Perform three quizzes once again. Use no spaces. Scroll down to click "show scores and solutions." If your formatting is not correct, no biggie. The objective is to balance correctly.
Seventh, visit http://funbasedlearning.com/chemistry/chemBalancer3/default.htm
and once again, write your answers on the hard copy as you complete the activity.
Eighth, visit
http://www.chemistry.ohio-state.edu/betha/nealChemBal/ Once there, click on each of the 5 steps. Read carefully. After the tutorial, click on Monkey Business. http://www.chemistry.ohio-state.edu/betha/chembal/shihome.html Follow the steps to determine who killed Shikai. Report this on your paper for a bonus. Submit your paper (one per person) for grading. If you don't finish today in class, finish it up tonight and turn in tomorrow for a grade.
Feel free to return to any of these sites for practice as you need it.
